Postmatch editorial
The script held and Montserrat delivered it
The final score was Montserrat 4-0 US Virgin Islands. The strongest pre-match signals were already leaning toward that outcome.
The decisive turn arrived late when Adrian Clifton scored 83' for Montserrat.
Before kickoff, our model made Montserrat the likeliest result at 50.6%, while the median bookmaker line priced Montserrat at 98.0% implied. On BTTS, the model leaned Yes (56.1%), and that angle missed.
The model still found a small price edge on X at Coral. The market was offering 51.00 against a fair line of 41.90. That translated to an edge of 21.7% before kickoff. The price edge was there, but the final result did not follow it.
