Postmatch editorial
The prices said close and the pitch agreed
The final score was Differdange 03 0-0 Ilves. The draw was not the loudest pre-match angle, but the game never fully escaped its balance.
Neither Differdange 03 nor Ilves found a breakthrough, so the game stayed goalless all the way through.
The raw numbers were a little messier than the result: Ilves led Corners 2-6, even though the scoreboard went another way. Ilves also shaded Possession 44%-56%.
Before kickoff, the median bookmaker prices made Ilves the favourite at 41.7% implied probability. That market lean missed.
