Postmatch editorial

The prices said close and the pitch agreed

The final score was Nantes 2-2 Troyes. The draw was not the loudest pre-match angle, but the game never fully escaped its balance.

The late equaliser came from Evann Guessand 90+6', which kept the game level at the finish.

The raw numbers were a little messier than the result: Nantes led Shots on target 9-4, even though the scoreboard went another way. Nantes also shaded Total shots 19-9.

Before kickoff, the median bookmaker prices made Nantes the favourite at 66.7% implied probability. That market lean missed.
