Goal Statistics

Goals have been difficult to come by for Bologna of late. It has been 6 Serie A games since they last scored more than 1, and a PG of 1.4 suggests they'll have problems ending that run on Saturday afternoon against AC Monza.

A truly dismal PG of just 0.9 should cause concerns for AC Monza fans, as should a 10 Serie A matches run in which they have failed to score more than 1 goal.
