📝 Match Report

How It Unfolded

Charlton beat Oxford United 1-0 at The Valley, Regular Season - 22, in the Championship. The remainder of the report sets that outcome against the pre-match model, the markets and the teams' data profiles.

The Model vs The Result

The Poisson model went into this projecting Charlton 1.17 xG and Oxford United 1.18 xG, a combined 2.34. The scoreboard read 1-0 for 1 actual goal. Oxford United landed 1.2 under their projected return. Those figures were built on strength ratings of Charlton attack 0.83 / defence 1.22 against Oxford United attack 0.80 / defence 1.01, drawn from 20/67 games (CurrentSeason).

On the result, the model split it Charlton 35% | Draw 30% | Oxford United 36%, with Oxford United to win its most likely call at 36%. The actual Charlton win had been the model's second-ranked read at 35%, so the result diverged from the top call without being a shock.

Goals & Markets

The model rated Over 2.5 goals at 42%. The game delivered 1, so it stayed under — in line with the projection. Over 1.5 had been 69% and missed. On both teams to score, the model sat at 48% and the match did not — another call in the model's favour. Historically the two sides average 45% Over 2.5 across their same-competition games (Charlton 48%, Oxford United 42%), a base rate that agreed with today's under. Their combined BTTS history runs at 50%, which did not match the one-sided outcome.

Trading Patterns vs Reality

Charlton's trading profile (67 games, 33 home) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 45% of their matches — today it did not; they keep a clean sheet 40% of the time, and duly kept one.

Oxford United's trading profile (67 games, 33 away) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 55% of their matches — today it did not; they fail to score in 28% of games, a blank that repeated today.

Form vs Result

On form, Charlton arrived the stronger side — 1.64 PPG against 1.07. Form held, and they took the win. Charlton (home/away splits) conceded 0 against a 0.82 average — tighter than their form line. Oxford United (home/away splits) managed 0 against a 0.82 scoring average — below par going forward.

Verdict

Grading the result against the stored data, 3 of 4 pre-match signals came in: result (miss), Over 2.5 (hit), BTTS (hit), form (hit). Partial vindication: some calls landed, others slipped.
