Postmatch editorial
The prices said close and the pitch agreed
The final score was Leeds United 0-0 Brentford. The draw was not the loudest pre-match angle, but the game never fully escaped its balance.
Neither Leeds United nor Brentford found a breakthrough, so the game stayed goalless all the way through.
The raw numbers were a little messier than the result: Leeds United led Shots on target 4-2, even though the scoreboard went another way. Leeds United also shaded Total shots 14-6.
Before kickoff, our model made Leeds United the likeliest result at 41.0%, while the median bookmaker line priced Leeds United at 42.6% implied. On BTTS, the model leaned Yes (58.8%), and that angle missed.
