Postmatch editorial
The prices said close and the pitch agreed
The final score was Celje 0-0 Shelbourne. The draw was not the loudest pre-match angle, but the game never fully escaped its balance.
Neither Celje nor Shelbourne found a breakthrough, so the game stayed goalless all the way through.
The raw numbers were a little messier than the result: Celje led Shots on target 7-4, even though the scoreboard went another way. Celje also shaded Possession 70%-30%.
Before kickoff, the median bookmaker prices made Celje the favourite at 79.4% implied probability. That market lean missed.
