Postmatch editorial

Kenya turned the pre-match edge into points

The final score was Kenya 5-0 Seychelles. The strongest pre-match signals were already leaning toward that outcome.

Ryan Ogam put the first mark on the match 7', setting the tone for the rest of the night.

The numbers leaned the same way as the scoreline: Kenya led Shots on target 7-3. Kenya also shaded Total shots 15-5.

Before kickoff, our model made Kenya the likeliest result at 75.4%, while the median bookmaker line priced Kenya at 98.0% implied. On BTTS, the model leaned No (66.5%), and that angle landed.
