Postmatch editorial
The pre-match tension never quite broke
The final score was ChievoVerona 1-1 Cremonese. The draw was not the loudest pre-match angle, but the game never fully escaped its balance.
Michael Fabbro put the first mark on the match 25', setting the tone for the rest of the night.
The raw numbers were a little messier than the result: Cremonese led Shots on target 2-3, even though the scoreboard went another way. Cremonese also shaded Possession 42%-58%.
Before kickoff, the median bookmaker prices made ChievoVerona the favourite at 46.5% implied probability. That market lean missed.
