Postmatch editorial

The prices said close and the pitch agreed

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

Neither Clermont nor Sochaux found a breakthrough, so the game stayed goalless all the way through.

The raw numbers were a little messier than the result: Clermont led Shots on target 2-1, even though the scoreboard went another way. Clermont also shaded Corners 8-3.

Before kickoff, the median bookmaker prices made Clermont the favourite at 38.7% implied probability. That market lean missed.
