Postmatch editorial
The prices said close and the pitch agreed
The final score was Balzan 0-0 Neman Grodno. The draw was not the loudest pre-match angle, but the game never fully escaped its balance.
Neither Balzan nor Neman Grodno found a breakthrough, so the game stayed goalless all the way through.
The raw numbers were a little messier than the result: Balzan led Shots on target 3-1, even though the scoreboard went another way. Balzan also shaded Corners 4-1.
Before kickoff, the median bookmaker prices made Neman Grodno the favourite at 42.6% implied probability. That market lean missed.
