Full Analysis
Pride Park Stadium plays host to Derby versus Charlton in League One, Regular Season - 13. Kick-off: Tuesday 27 February 2024 at 19:45 UTC.
Form & Momentum
Derby have collected 2.00 PPG across 10 League One outings this season: 6W 2D 2L. Last five: W D W W L. Offensively they are averaging 1.50 goals per game, with 0.80 conceded. Defensively, conceding just 0.80 per game is an exceptional defensive record — one of the tightest in the division. 4 clean sheets in 10 games (40%) reflects a solid defensive base.
Derby at Pride Park Stadium this season: 7W 2D 1L from 10 home games — 2.30 PPG on home soil. They are averaging 2.20 goals per home game — a prolific scoring rate in front of their own fans. Both teams have scored in 70% of their home games — an outstanding BTTS rate that is a key data point for this fixture.
Charlton (all games): 0W 5D 5L across 10 League One outings this term — 0.50 points per game. Last five: L L D D D. Their scoring rate of 1.10 per game is modest, conceding 1.80 — not a side to back heavily on the Over 2.5 from their form alone. 1 clean sheet 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.
Charlton's form when playing away from home: 0W 6D 4L across 10 road games this term (0.60 PPG). Away from home they average 1.20 goals scored and 1.80 conceded per game. Both teams have scored in 70% of their away matches — a high BTTS rate on the road that directly informs this fixture.
The form ledger tips toward Derby. A 1.50 PPG lead over Charlton (2.00 vs 0.50) is a consistent enough margin to carry weight. If the win odds appear compressed, Draw No Bet offers draw insurance at a lower cost than a full switch to Double Chance.
The BTTS picture is exceptionally clear (using home/away splits) — Derby register both teams scoring in 70% of relevant games, Charlton in 70%. Both sides above 70% makes BTTS Yes one of the strongest standalone angles in this fixture.
Head-to-Head
Form and model data should carry more weight here — the historical record is too balanced to provide a directional steer. From 3 meetings: Derby 2W, Charlton 1W, 0D.
Historically, goals have been at a premium in this fixture — just 1.3 per game from 3 meetings. The Under 2.5 has a clear base rate from the H2H record alone. The most recent clash, on 3 Feb 2024, ended 1–0 with Derby winning.
With a balanced win record and just 1.3 goals per game historically, the H2H points toward a tight, low-scoring contest. Under 2.5 goals has the strongest statistical grounding from the fixture history regardless of which side wins.
Trading
Derby half-time and goal-timing data (80 games, 39 at home): they score before half-time in 67% of fixtures in home games; when goalless at HT, a second-half goal follows 70% of the time; BTTS occurs in 54% of their matches (home games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 51% of games (home games).
Charlton half-time and goal-timing data (80 games, 39 at away): they score before half-time in 64% of fixtures in away games; when goalless at HT, a second-half goal follows 82% of the time; BTTS occurs in 59% of their matches (away games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 46% of games (away games); Over 3.5 in 35%.
BTTS rates are mixed from the trading data — Derby 50% versus Charlton 65%; no strong lean in either direction. The over/under 2.5 picture is inconclusive from the in-play data (Derby 49% | Charlton 52%).
Poisson Model
The Poisson distribution model projects Derby 1.98 xG and Charlton 1.06 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: Derby attack 1.223 / defence 0.902 | Charlton attack 0.964 / defence 1.220. League average goals — home 1.330 / away 1.218. Charlton bring a strong defensive rating of 1.220 — this is suppressing Derby's projected output below what their attack strength alone would suggest. Data: 80 Derby games / 80 Charlton games used (CurrentSeason).
Result probabilities: Derby 59% | Draw 21% | Charlton 20%. Fair-value odds: Derby 1.69 | Draw 4.76 | Charlton 5.00. The model has a clear lean to Derby (59%) — a 39pp gap over the next-most-likely outcome reflects a meaningful statistical advantage.
Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 59% | BTTS probability 56% | Total xG 3.04. Over 2.5 holds a meaningful probability edge at 59% — the 3.04 total xG provides moderate support, though the model is not projecting a high-scoring game. BTTS probability of 56% is moderate — neither team is projected to score with enough certainty to make Yes a clear standalone call.
Picks & Verdict
On the Poisson output, Derby are the pick at 59% — clear model lean. Current-season form corroborates the Poisson lean — partial multi-source support. Draw No Bet is worth pricing alongside the outright: 21% draw probability makes the stalemate a live outcome even at this conviction level.
Poisson projects 3.04 total expected goals, pointing to Over 2.5 at 59% probability — marginal — conflicting signals conviction, supported by form averaging 3.1 goals per game — though H2H averaging only 1.3 goals per meeting points in the other direction.
On the BTTS market, Poisson puts 56% on Yes. Form rates corroborate: Derby 70% | Charlton 70% BTTS from recent games.

📝 Match Report
How It Unfolded
Charlton beat Derby 1-2 at Pride Park Stadium, Regular Season - 13, in the League One. With the result on the board, the sections below measure it against everything the model and the numbers projected in advance.
The Model vs The Result
The Poisson model went into this projecting Derby 1.98 xG and Charlton 1.06 xG, a combined 3.04. The scoreboard read 1-2 for 3 actual goals. Derby fell 1.0 short of their projected output. Charlton outscored their 1.06 projection by 0.9. Those figures were built on strength ratings of Derby attack 1.22 / defence 0.90 against Charlton attack 0.96 / defence 1.22, drawn from 80/80 games (CurrentSeason).
On the result, the model split it Derby 59% | Draw 21% | Charlton 20%, with Derby to win its most likely call at 59%. Instead the game produced a Charlton win, an outcome the model had rated at just 20% — a clear break from expectation and a genuine upset by the numbers.
Goals & Markets
The model rated Over 2.5 goals at 59%. The game delivered 3, so it went over — a call the model got right. Over 1.5 had been 81% and landed. On both teams to score, the model sat at 56% and the match saw both sides score — another call in the model's favour. Historically the two sides average 51% Over 2.5 across their same-competition games (Derby 49%, Charlton 52%), a base rate that agreed with today's over. Their combined BTTS history runs at 58%, which matched the both-scored outcome.
Trading Patterns vs Reality
Derby's trading profile (80 games, 39 home) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 50% of their matches — today it did; they keep a clean sheet 39% of the time, and conceded here.
Charlton's trading profile (80 games, 39 away) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 65% of their matches — today it did.
Form vs Result
