Postmatch editorial

The prices said close and the pitch agreed

The final score was Lazio 3-3 Udinese. The draw was not the loudest pre-match angle, but the game never fully escaped its balance.

The late equaliser came from Daniel Maldini 90+5', which kept the game level at the finish.

The raw numbers were a little messier than the result: Udinese led Shots on target 5-7, even though the scoreboard went another way. Udinese also shaded Total shots 13-16.

Before kickoff, the median bookmaker prices made Lazio the favourite at 44.4% implied probability. That market lean missed.
