Postmatch editorial

Valencia found the margin in a finely priced match

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

The decisive turn arrived late when José Gayà scored 84' for Valencia.

The raw numbers were a little messier than the result: Getafe led Shots on target 3-1, even though the scoreboard went another way. Getafe also shaded Total shots 14-7.

Before kickoff, our model made Valencia the likeliest result at 40.1%, while the median bookmaker line priced Getafe at 40.0% implied. On BTTS, the model leaned No (56.5%), and that angle landed.
