Charlton v Bristol City: how it went

How it turned out

We projected about 2.4 goals and the game finished with 2. Both teams scored.

What we said beforehand

We expect about 1.1 goals from Charlton and 1.2 from Bristol City, which is as level as our reading of a game gets. Put together, that is around 2.4 goals in the game, which is an ordinary sort of total.

Bristol City come into this on two straight wins. Recent results are only ever part of the story, but they are worth knowing before kick-off.

Our pick: Under 3.5 goals. This has the look of a cagey, low-scoring game — around 2.2 goals in total (xG 1.1-1.1), keeping it under more often than not (about 75%). Clear chances should be at a premium.

We put the chance of that landing at about 73 out of 100. The price on offer is 1.28, which works out at about 78 out of 100. The price is shorter than our own read, so there is less in this than it might look.
