We make it 64% for three or more goals. The numbers back it without being overwhelming. Whether both teams score is a genuine coin-flip, and we make it 56%. Their past meetings back this up. These two average 3.1 goals when they meet, with 8 of the last 10 producing three or more. A word of caution on the chances: even though the goals numbers point up, the combined chance quality is only worth 2.3 a game. These sides aren't creating as much as their goal tallies suggest. Hot finishing has flattered the numbers.
Both teams score in 52% of Charlton's home games and 61% of Portsmouth's away matches. both teams finding the net isn't guaranteed.
Charlton are all-out attack: 2.0 goals a game, but they leak 1.0 at the other end. They'll throw plenty at Portsmouth, but there are gaps at the back for the visitors to get at. Portsmouth have goals in them (2.0 per game) but their record at the back (2.0 conceded) leaves them open. This could be end-to-end.
In the last 10 meetings: Charlton have won 4, Portsmouth 3, with 3 draws. These fixtures average 3.1 goals per game. 8 of the last 10 produced 3+ goals. Both teams have scored in most of their recent meetings, so there's a good chance both find the net again. Recent results: Charlton 1-3 Portsmouth, Portsmouth 2-1 Charlton, Charlton 2-0 Portsmouth.
