Postmatch editorial
The prices said close and the pitch agreed
The final score was Dunkerque 1-1 Clermont. The draw was not the loudest pre-match angle, but the game never fully escaped its balance.
Opa Sangante put the first mark on the match 38', setting the tone for the rest of the night.
The raw numbers were a little messier than the result: Clermont led Corners 2-7, even though the scoreboard went another way. Clermont also shaded Shots on target 2-3.
Before kickoff, the median bookmaker prices made Dunkerque the favourite at 54.9% implied probability. That market lean missed.
