📝 Match Report

How It Unfolded

Millwall beat Charlton 4-0 at The Den, Regular Season - 29, in the Championship. That is the final score; the rest of this report grades it against what the data forecast beforehand.

The Model vs The Result

The Poisson model went into this projecting Millwall 1.48 xG and Charlton 0.88 xG, a combined 2.36. The scoreboard read 4-0 for 4 actual goals. Millwall beat their projection by 2.5 — clinical relative to the chances the model priced in. Charlton landed 0.9 under their projected return. Those figures were built on strength ratings of Millwall attack 0.97 / defence 0.97 against Charlton attack 0.79 / defence 1.15, drawn from 74/27 games (CurrentSeason).

On the result, the model split it Millwall 50% | Draw 28% | Charlton 22%, with Millwall to win its most likely call at 50%. The scoreboard confirmed the model's leading pick.

Goals & Markets

The model rated Over 2.5 goals at 42%. The game delivered 4, so it went over — a miss for the goals model. Over 1.5 had been 69% and landed. Over 3.5 was 21% and came in. On both teams to score, the model sat at 46% and the match did not — another call in the model's favour. Historically the two sides average 42% Over 2.5 across their same-competition games (Millwall 36%, Charlton 47%), a base rate that pointed the other way from today's over. Their combined BTTS history runs at 45%, which matched the one-sided outcome.

Trading Patterns vs Reality

Millwall's trading profile (74 games, 37 home) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 45% of their matches — today it did not; they keep a clean sheet 35% of the time, and duly kept one.

Charlton's trading profile (74 games, 37 away) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 46% of their matches — today it did not; they keep a clean sheet 39% of the time, and conceded here.

Form vs Result

The form lines were close — Millwall 1.51 PPG, Charlton 1.59 PPG — offering no strong steer, and the Millwall win broke the near-deadlock. Millwall (home/away splits) scored 4 against a 1.19 average — above their attacking norm and conceded 0 against a 0.97 average — tighter than their form line. Charlton (home/away splits) managed 0 against a 1.08 scoring average — below par going forward and shipped 4 against a 1.27 concession average — a leakier day than usual.

Verdict

Grading the result against the stored data, 2 of 3 pre-match signals came in: result (hit), Over 2.5 (miss), BTTS (hit). A mixed scorecard — the data caught the broad shape of the game but not every market.
