📝 Match Report

How It Unfolded

The points were shared at The Valley, Regular Season - 25, as Charlton and Reading drew 0-0 in the League One. 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 1.53 xG and Reading 1.15 xG, a combined 2.68. The scoreboard read 0-0 for 0 actual goals. Charlton fell 1.5 short of their projected output. Reading landed 1.2 under their projected return. Those figures were built on strength ratings of Charlton attack 0.96 / defence 0.90 against Reading attack 1.09 / defence 1.24, drawn from 68/69 games (CurrentSeason).

On the result, the model split it Charlton 46% | Draw 25% | Reading 29%, with Charlton to win its most likely call at 46%. Instead the game produced a draw, an outcome the model had rated at just 25% — a clear break from expectation and a genuine upset by the numbers.

Goals & Markets

The model rated Over 2.5 goals at 50%. The game delivered 0, so it stayed under — against the model's lean. Over 1.5 had been 75% and missed. On both teams to score, the model sat at 54% and the match did not — a miss on BTTS. Historically the two sides average 54% Over 2.5 across their same-competition games (Charlton 48%, Reading 59%), a base rate that pointed the other way from today's under. Their combined BTTS history runs at 65%, which did not match the one-sided outcome.

Trading Patterns vs Reality

Charlton's trading profile (68 games, 34 home) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 65% of their matches — today it did not.

Reading's trading profile (68 games, 34 away) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 66% of their matches — today it did not.

Form vs Result

The form lines were close — Charlton 1.26 PPG, Reading 1.46 PPG — offering no strong steer, and the draw fit that even billing. Charlton (home/away splits) managed 0 against a 1.50 scoring average — below par going forward and conceded 0 against a 1.21 average — tighter than their form line. Reading (home/away splits) managed 0 against a 1.32 scoring average — below par going forward and conceded 0 against a 2.03 average — tighter than their form line.

Verdict

Grading the result against the stored data, 0 of 3 pre-match signals came in: result (miss), Over 2.5 (miss), BTTS (miss). This one broke away from the data — most of the pre-match signals were overturned by how the ninety minutes actually played out.
