Postmatch editorial
Nice settled a divided pre-match read
The final score was Angers SCO 0-2 Nice. The model and the market were not perfectly aligned, but one side of that divide ended up cashing out.
The decisive turn arrived late when Elye Wahi scored 90+6' for Nice.
The numbers leaned the same way as the scoreline: Nice led Shots on target 1-8. Nice also shaded Total shots 10-12.
Before kickoff, our model made Angers SCO the likeliest result at 40.1%, while the median bookmaker line priced Nice at 42.1% implied. On BTTS, the model leaned Yes (55.2%), and that angle missed.
