Fixture Analysis

It is a Championship clash, Regular Season - 13 as Charlton welcome Swansea to The Valley. Kick-off is set for Saturday 1 November 2025 at 15:00 UTC.

Recent Form

Across all Championship games this season, Charlton have gone 4W 3D 3L from 10 outings — a 1.50 PPG return. Last five: D L W W D. They are averaging 1.30 goals per game and conceding 1.00 — a modest attacking output that tempers optimism on the Over 2.5 market. 3 clean sheets from 10 outings provides some defensive foundation. This season is still relatively young for Charlton, so this record blends games from this season and last.

Charlton's form when playing at home: 7W 2D 1L across 10 games at The Valley this term (2.30 PPG). At home they are averaging 1.60 goals scored and 0.70 conceded per game. 4 home clean sheets from 10 games (40%) — a solid defensive base on their own ground. Their home PPG of 2.30 is noticeably stronger than their overall 1.50 — Charlton are significantly better at The Valley than their overall form suggests.

Looking at all fixtures this season, Swansea stand at 3W 4D 3L from 10 Championship matches — 1.30 PPG. Last five: W L D L W. Their scoring rate of 1.10 per game is modest, conceding 1.10 — not a side to back heavily on the Over 2.5 from their form alone. 2 clean sheets from 10 outings suggests some defensive organisation. Both teams have scored in 60% of their games — a noteworthy BTTS rate that supports the Yes market. This season is still relatively young for Swansea, so this record blends games from this season and last.

Swansea's form when playing away from home: 4W 2D 4L across 10 road games this term (1.40 PPG). Away from home they average 0.90 goals scored and 0.80 conceded per game. Away from home, both teams have scored in only 30% of games — a low rate that backs BTTS No when they travel.

The form comparison is too close to call — 1.50 PPG (Charlton) versus 1.30 (Swansea). When the figures are this level, no pick can be reliably derived from recent results alone.

Trading Patterns

Charlton in-play and half-time data (58 games, 28 at home): they score before half-time in 64% of fixtures in home games; when goalless at HT, a second-half goal follows 77% of the time; BTTS occurs in 50% of their matches (home games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 50% of games (home games); they keep a clean sheet 43% of the time.

Swansea in-play and half-time data (58 games, 28 at away): they score before half-time in 61% of fixtures in away games; when goalless at HT, a second-half goal follows 78% of the time; BTTS occurs in 39% of their matches (away games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 43% of games (away games); they fail to score in 34% of games.

BTTS rates are mixed from the trading data — Charlton 43% versus Swansea 43%; no strong lean in either direction. The over/under 2.5 picture is inconclusive from the in-play data (Charlton 48% | Swansea 43%).

Poisson Model

The Poisson distribution model projects Charlton 1.06 xG and Swansea 0.83 xG. These expected goals figures are the primary input: they feed a goal-probability matrix across all scoreline combinations to derive the result and market probabilities below. Underlying strength ratings: Charlton attack 1.053 / defence 0.913 | Swansea attack 0.809 / defence 0.853. League average goals — home 1.178 / away 1.123. Data: 12 Charlton games / 58 Swansea games used (CurrentSeason).

Result probabilities: Charlton 40% | Draw 32% | Swansea 28%. Fair-value odds: Charlton 2.50 | Draw 3.12 | Swansea 3.57. This is a low-confidence result — no outcome exceeds 45%. The draw at 32% is a primary outcome, not an afterthought.

Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 29% | BTTS probability 37% | Total xG 1.89. Under 2.5 is the strongly backed market at 71% probability — total xG of 1.89 sits well below the 2.5 threshold. The model is projecting a tight, low-scoring match based on both sides' defensive quality. BTTS probability of 37% is moderate — neither team is projected to score with enough certainty to make Yes a clear standalone call.

Analysis Verdict

On the Poisson output, Charlton are the pick at 40% — marginal model lean. With a 32% draw probability, Draw No Bet on Charlton offers a more defensible entry point than the straight win. The opposing side holds a 28% win probability per the model — this is not a banker and should be staked accordingly.

Poisson projects 1.89 total expected goals, pointing to Under 2.5 at 29% probability — reasonable conviction, supported by form averaging 2.0 goals per game.

The Poisson model's BTTS call is No at 37%. Form rates corroborate: Charlton 50% | Swansea 30% BTTS from recent games.
