Postmatch editorial
The prices said close and the pitch agreed
The final score was Albacete 0-0 Barcelona II. The draw was not the loudest pre-match angle, but the game never fully escaped its balance.
Neither Albacete nor Barcelona II found a breakthrough, so the game stayed goalless all the way through.
The raw numbers were a little messier than the result: Barcelona II led Shots on target 1-5, even though the scoreboard went another way. Barcelona II also shaded Possession 42%-58%.
Before kickoff, the median bookmaker prices made Albacete the favourite at 39.8% implied probability. That market lean missed.
