Postmatch editorial
The prices said close and the pitch agreed
The final score was Motherwell 0-0 Falkirk. The draw was not the loudest pre-match angle, but the game never fully escaped its balance.
Neither Motherwell nor Falkirk found a breakthrough, so the game stayed goalless all the way through.
The raw numbers were a little messier than the result: Motherwell led Possession 58%-42%, even though the scoreboard went another way. Motherwell also shaded Total shots 11-10.
Before kickoff, the median bookmaker prices made Motherwell the favourite at 54.9% implied probability. That market lean missed.
