Postmatch editorial
The prices said close and the pitch agreed
The final score was Bayer 04 Leverkusen 0-0 Olympiacos F.C.. The draw was not the loudest pre-match angle, but the game never fully escaped its balance.
Neither Bayer 04 Leverkusen nor Olympiacos F.C. found a breakthrough, so the game stayed goalless all the way through.
The raw numbers were a little messier than the result: Olympiacos F.C. led Corners 4-5, even though the scoreboard went another way. Olympiacos F.C. also shaded Possession 47%-53%.
Before kickoff, the median bookmaker prices made Bayer 04 Leverkusen the favourite at 57.1% implied probability. That market lean missed.
