Postmatch editorial

Faroe Islands found the margin in a finely priced match

The final score was Faroe Islands 4-0 Montenegro. The model and the market were not perfectly aligned, but one side of that divide ended up cashing out.

Hanus Sørensen put the first mark on the match 16', setting the tone for the rest of the night.

The numbers leaned the same way as the scoreline: Faroe Islands led Shots on target 6-3. Faroe Islands also shaded Corners 7-2.

Before kickoff, our model made Faroe Islands the likeliest result at 54.1%, while the median bookmaker line priced Montenegro at 39.7% implied. On BTTS, the model leaned Yes (50.1%), and that angle missed.
