Postmatch editorial

The scoreboard moved against the pre-match lean

The final score was AC Milan 0-1 Parma. It landed away from the main pre-match lean and counts as a genuine twist in the numbers.

The decisive turn arrived late when Mariano Troilo scored 80' for Parma.

The raw numbers were a little messier than the result: AC Milan led Total shots 25-9, even though the scoreboard went another way. AC Milan also shaded Shots on target 6-3.

Before kickoff, our model made AC Milan the likeliest result at 65.7%, while the median bookmaker line priced AC Milan at 75.8% implied. On BTTS, the model leaned No (59.2%), and that angle landed.

The model still found a small price edge on 1 at 1xbet. The market was offering 1.40 against a fair line of 1.38. That translated to an edge of 1.4% before kickoff. The price edge was there, but the final result did not follow it.
