Postmatch editorial

The scoreboard moved against the pre-match lean

The final score was Genoa 2-1 Roma. It landed away from the main pre-match lean and counts as a genuine twist in the numbers.

The decisive turn arrived late when Vitinha scored 80' for Genoa.

The numbers leaned the same way as the scoreline: Genoa led Shots on target 5-1. Roma also shaded Possession 36%-64%.

Before kickoff, our model made Roma the likeliest result at 46.0%, while the median bookmaker line priced Roma at 50.1% implied. On BTTS, the model leaned No (51.7%), and that angle missed.
