Postmatch editorial
Draw settled a divided pre-match read
The final score was Napoli 2-2 Roma. The model and the market were not perfectly aligned, but one side of that divide ended up cashing out.
The late equaliser came from Alisson Santos 82', which kept the game level at the finish.
The raw numbers were a little messier than the result: Napoli led Shots on target 7-2, even though the scoreboard went another way. Napoli also shaded Corners 2-1.
Before kickoff, our model made Napoli the likeliest result at 38.6%, while the median bookmaker line priced Napoli at 40.0% implied. On BTTS, the model leaned No (51.2%), and that angle missed.
