AI-assisted match report written from official match data.
QPR dominated possession, holding the ball for 72 percent of the match, but that control did not translate into clear-cut chances, with the visitors managing just two shots on target from fifteen attempts. Charlton, more direct with less of the ball, still failed to test the goalkeeper, ending the match without a single shot on target from their nine efforts.
The contest was littered with stoppages, with QPR picking up ten fouls to Charlton's eight and collecting two yellow cards to the hosts' none. QPR also had the edge at set pieces, winning twelve corners compared to Charlton's five, though none of that territorial advantage was converted into a goal.
Ronnie Edwards was the highest-rated player on the pitch, finishing with a 7.44 rating for QPR despite neither scoring nor assisting.
QPR's 72 percent share of possession underlined their control of the game, even though it yielded no goals.

Sirius · Why these numbers
Before kick-off Sirius gave Charlton 32%, the draw 31%, QPR 37%. It finished Charlton 0–0 QPR.
Level sides, QPR's control of the ball swings it — Nothing separates them on our strength rating, and QPR's control of the ball plus QPR's cold finishing due to recover give QPR the lean. The draw at 31% is helped by a draw-heavy league.
Why QPR in front?
Almost nothing between them on our strength rating — 1410 to 1456. Sides this close won 43.1% of 15,963 home games (draw 26.7%, visitors 30.2%). QPR hold 13 more possession points (50 to 37 in recent games) — and between equals, control has been worth something. Between evenly-matched sides, when the visitors held this control edge the home team's win rate fell to 40.3% across 5,579 games, from 44.0% when styles were level. QPR sit -0.39 goals per game below chance-quality — cold streaks like this have bounced back. Visitors this cold went on to win 32.4% of 1,356 games, vs 29.2% for visitors finishing normally.
Why only 37%?
Because on our strength rating there is nothing in it. Level sides split the rest: the draw at 31% and Charlton at 32%.
Why the draw at 31%?
Between sides this level the draw starts at 26.7%. These teams' recent games average 3.0 goals — a typical goals environment. Games in that environment drew 24.6% of 25,029. Championship runs draw-heavy, adding 2.0 points. Early-season fixtures add 2.0 points to the draw.
What did we measure but not count?
Charlton have rebuilt the eleven — fewer of last season's regular starters are still starting. Squad turnover reads dramatic but hasn't moved results once the rating is controlled: the busiest windows landed within noise across 5,368 games, rebuilt elevens likewise across 5,446, and even losing the most regular starters showed nothing (5,336).
