Postmatch editorial
The pre-match tension never quite broke
The final score was Athletic Club 1-1 Celta de Vigo. The draw was not the loudest pre-match angle, but the game never fully escaped its balance.

The raw numbers were a little messier than the result: Athletic Club led Shots on target 9-2, even though the scoreboard went another way. Athletic Club also shaded Total shots 27-3.
Before kickoff, our model made Athletic Club the likeliest result at 48.3%, while the median bookmaker line priced Athletic Club at 46.3% implied. On BTTS, the model leaned Yes (52.7%), and that angle landed.
