Postmatch editorial

Neither side managed to pull the match clear

The final score was Leyton Orient 2-2 Burton Albion. The draw was not the loudest pre-match angle, but the game never fully escaped its balance.

Will Forrester put the first mark on the match 2', setting the tone for the rest of the night.

The raw numbers were a little messier than the result: Burton Albion led Shots on target 4-8, even though the scoreboard went another way. Leyton Orient also shaded Corners 5-1.

Before kickoff, the median bookmaker prices made Leyton Orient the favourite at 55.7% implied probability. That market lean missed.
