One side of the split call landed for Draw

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

Neither Burnley nor AFC Bournemouth found a breakthrough, so the game stayed goalless all the way through.

The raw numbers were a little messier than the result: AFC Bournemouth led Shots on target 2-3, even though the scoreboard went another way. AFC Bournemouth also shaded Possession 38%-62%.

Before kickoff, our model made AFC Bournemouth the likeliest result at 38.4%, while the median bookmaker line priced AFC Bournemouth at 54.5% implied. On BTTS, the model leaned Yes (53.1%), and that angle missed.
