Postmatch editorial
The prices said close and the pitch agreed
The final score was Nice 0-0 Metz. The draw was not the loudest pre-match angle, but the game never fully escaped its balance.
Neither Nice nor Metz found a breakthrough, so the game stayed goalless all the way through.
The raw numbers were a little messier than the result: Nice led Corners 10-4, even though the scoreboard went another way. Nice also shaded Total shots 22-16.
Before kickoff, the median bookmaker prices made Nice the favourite at 78.1% implied probability. That market lean missed.
