Postmatch editorial
The prices said close and the pitch agreed
The final score was FC Augsburg 2-2 TSG Hoffenheim. The draw was not the loudest pre-match angle, but the game never fully escaped its balance.
Alexis Claude-Maurice put the first mark on the match 11', setting the tone for the rest of the night.
The raw numbers were a little messier than the result: FC Augsburg led Shots on target 8-4, even though the scoreboard went another way. TSG Hoffenheim also shaded Possession 34%-66%.
Before kickoff, the median bookmaker prices made TSG Hoffenheim the favourite at 49.5% implied probability. That market lean missed.
