Sirius · Why these numbers
Before kick-off Sirius gave Charlton 38%, the draw 29%, Portsmouth 33%. It finished Charlton 0–0 Portsmouth.
Level sides, home ground holds off Portsmouth's control of the ball — Nothing separates them on our strength rating, and Charlton's 38% is home ground and little else. The draw at 29% is helped by a draw-heavy league.
Why Charlton in front?
Home ground, and little else. Almost nothing between them on our strength rating — 1410 to 1425. Sides this close won 43.1% of 15,973 home games (draw 26.7%, visitors 30.2%).
Why only 38%?
Because on our strength rating there is nothing in it. Portsmouth hold 14 more possession points (51 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 5,582 games, from 44.0% when styles were level. Championship home sides under-perform the global norm — and the difference mostly flows to draws (26.9% vs 24.9% norm). Championship homes won 43.0% of 8,425 games vs 44.9% across all 100,077 — outside the noise band, so the tally moves accordingly.
Why the draw at 29%?
Between sides this level the draw starts at 26.7%. These teams' recent games average 3.1 goals — a typical goals environment. Games in that environment drew 24.6% of 25,048. Championship runs draw-heavy, adding 2.0 points. The control factor adds 1.3 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). Charlton on 2 days' rest, Portsmouth on 7. Once class is accounted for, rest gaps stopped mattering — across 43,757 measured games no rest advantage repeated.
