Postmatch editorial

The scoreboard moved against the pre-match lean

The final score was Lens 2-3 Monaco. It landed away from the main pre-match lean and counts as a genuine twist in the numbers.

Lens struck first through Odsonne Édouard 3', but Monaco recovered and flipped the match.

The raw numbers were a little messier than the result: Lens led Corners 7-2, even though the scoreboard went another way. Lens also shaded Total shots 18-10.

Before kickoff, our model made Lens the likeliest result at 51.3%, while the median bookmaker line priced Lens at 57.8% implied. On BTTS, the model leaned Yes (52.8%), and that angle landed.
