Postmatch editorial

Draw found the margin in a finely priced match

The final score was Lorient 1-1 Paris. The model and the market were not perfectly aligned, but one side of that divide ended up cashing out.

The late equaliser came from Marshall Munetsi 74', which kept the game level at the finish.

The raw numbers were a little messier than the result: Paris led Shots on target 3-5, even though the scoreboard went another way. Lorient also shaded Total shots 10-7.

Before kickoff, our model made Lorient the likeliest result at 45.8%, while the median bookmaker line priced Lorient at 42.2% implied. On BTTS, the model leaned No (53.8%), and that angle missed.
