One side of the split call landed for Draw

The final score was Auxerre 0-0 Nantes. The model and the market were not perfectly aligned, but one side of that divide ended up cashing out.

Neither Auxerre nor Nantes found a breakthrough, so the game stayed goalless all the way through.

The raw numbers were a little messier than the result: Nantes led Shots on target 0-4, even though the scoreboard went another way. Nantes also shaded Total shots 5-13.

Before kickoff, our model made Auxerre the likeliest result at 44.3%, while the median bookmaker line priced Auxerre at 51.3% implied. On BTTS, the model leaned No (52.8%), and that angle landed.
