Postmatch editorial

One side of the split call landed for Levante

The final score was Levante 2-0 Deportivo Alavés. 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 Carlos Espí scored 90+7' for Levante.

The raw numbers were a little messier than the result: Deportivo Alavés led Shots on target 5-7, even though the scoreboard went another way. Levante also shaded Corners 10-6.

Before kickoff, our model made Deportivo Alavés the likeliest result at 38.3%, while the median bookmaker line priced Levante at 37.0% implied. On BTTS, the model leaned Yes (51.4%), and that angle missed.
