Why this price?

Back Charlton -0.25 on the Asian handicap at 2.68 with Bet365 — Charlton must win by more than 0.25 goals.

Our model puts the chance at 38% and the bookmakers' own consensus, margin removed, at 42%; we judge it at 40%, weighting the market more than the model, which is a fair price of 2.48. The offered 2.68 implies only 37%, so the price is 8.2% better than our estimate says it should be. That gap is the edge.

Stake 1.22 units of a 100-unit bank: the size follows the edge (a quarter-Kelly fraction), never more than 2 units.

Projected goals: Charlton 1.15, Bristol City 1.27.

The edge is an estimate and carries model error; it can be wrong, and a losing run is normal.

A positive gap means our probability is higher than the price implies. That is information, not a recommendation: a pick is only published where the gap clears our bar after allowing for model error, and those appear above.

Charlton v Bristol City: too close to call

Our model makes Charlton 33% to win this Championship fixture, with the draw at 29% and Bristol City at 38%. The goal projection is 1.15 for Charlton against 1.27 for Bristol City — a slight edge to Bristol City on expected output. A combined 2.42 goals points to a cagey game with few clear chances, which puts over 2.5 at 44% and both teams to score at 50%. The single most likely scoreline is 1-1 at 14%, though no individual scoreline is ever likely in absolute terms — that is the nature of a low-scoring sport. Note that even our favoured side is under 45% to win outright, so this is a fixture where the draw does a lot of work and confident calls are not warranted. All figures come from a Dixon–Coles adjusted Poisson model fitted on recent results and expected goals. They are estimates, not forecasts of fact.

Most likely scores: 1-1 14%; 0-1 10%; 0-0 10%; 1-0 9%; 1-2 8%
