Charlton vs Southampton Prediction, Odds & Statistics

Our Poisson-based model projects 0.98 expected goals for Charlton and 1.23 for Southampton, a combined total of 2.20.

Goals markets follow the same shape: 38% for over 2.5 goals and 44% for both teams to score, with 0–1 the single most likely scoreline at 14%.

Prediction conclusion

The model's leading selection is Draw/Away, at 70.7%. Its single most likely scoreline is 0–1.

It puts both teams scoring at 44% and over 2.5 goals at 38%.

A 71% selection is expected to miss in the remaining share of matches, and football regularly produces red cards, injuries and tactical changes the data cannot see. Treat this as a probability, not a forecast of the result.
