Postmatch editorial

Espanyol found the margin in a finely priced match

The final score was Getafe 0-1 Espanyol. The model and the market were not perfectly aligned, but one side of that divide ended up cashing out.

Ludovic Taillandier put the first mark on the match 53', setting the tone for the rest of the night.

The numbers leaned the same way as the scoreline: Espanyol led Shots on target 1-4. Getafe also shaded Total shots 11-6.

Before kickoff, our model made Espanyol the likeliest result at 43.5%, while the median bookmaker line priced Getafe at 38.4% implied. On BTTS, the model leaned No (55.0%), and that angle landed.
