Postmatch editorial

The prices said close and the pitch agreed

The final score was Modena 0-0 SPAL. The draw was not the loudest pre-match angle, but the game never fully escaped its balance.

Neither Modena nor SPAL found a breakthrough, so the game stayed goalless all the way through.

The raw numbers were a little messier than the result: SPAL led Shots on target 1-4, even though the scoreboard went another way. Modena also shaded Corners 9-4.

Before kickoff, the median bookmaker prices made Modena the favourite at 55.9% implied probability. That market lean missed.
