Postmatch editorial

The scoreboard moved against the pre-match lean

The final score was Celta de Vigo 3-4 Deportivo Alavés. It landed away from the main pre-match lean and counts as a genuine twist in the numbers.

Celta de Vigo struck first through Ferran Jutglà 19', but Deportivo Alavés recovered and flipped the match.

The raw numbers were a little messier than the result: Celta de Vigo led Corners 4-1, even though the scoreboard went another way. Deportivo Alavés also shaded Shots on target 5-6.

Before kickoff, our model made Celta de Vigo the likeliest result at 49.4%, while the median bookmaker line priced Celta de Vigo at 50.6% implied. On BTTS, the model leaned No (51.8%), and that angle missed.
