Postmatch editorial
The prices said close and the pitch agreed
The final score was Crystal Palace 0-0 West Ham United. The draw was not the loudest pre-match angle, but the game never fully escaped its balance.
Neither Crystal Palace nor West Ham United found a breakthrough, so the game stayed goalless all the way through.
The raw numbers were a little messier than the result: West Ham United led Shots on target 1-4, even though the scoreboard went another way. West Ham United also shaded Corners 4-6.
Before kickoff, the median bookmaker prices made Crystal Palace the favourite at 39.2% implied probability. That market lean missed.
