Postmatch editorial
The prices said close and the pitch agreed
The final score was Nice 1-1 Lens. The draw was not the loudest pre-match angle, but the game never fully escaped its balance.
The late equaliser came from Ali Abdi 84', which kept the game level at the finish.
The raw numbers were a little messier than the result: Lens led Shots on target 2-4, even though the scoreboard went another way. Lens also shaded Total shots 9-16.
Before kickoff, the median bookmaker prices made Lens the favourite at 60.6% implied probability. That market lean missed.
