Goal Statistics

Goals have been difficult to come by for Galway United of late. It has been 6 Premier Division games since they last scored more than 1, and a PG of 1.4 suggests they'll struggle to end that run on Friday evening against Dundalk.

A truly dreadful PG of just 0.7 should cause concerns for Dundalk fans, as should a 7 Premier Division games run in which they have failed to score more than 1 goal.
