Postmatch editorial

The prices said close and the pitch agreed

The final score was Belarus 0-0 Greece. The draw was not the loudest pre-match angle, but the game never fully escaped its balance.

Neither Belarus nor Greece found a breakthrough, so the game stayed goalless all the way through.

The raw numbers were a little messier than the result: Greece led Shots on target 1-3, even though the scoreboard went another way. Greece also shaded Corners 2-6.

Before kickoff, our model made Greece the likeliest result at 70.8%, while the median bookmaker line priced Greece at 75.2% implied. On BTTS, the model leaned No (60.1%), and that angle landed.
