Postmatch editorial

Monaco found the margin in a finely priced match

The final score was Olympique Lyonnais 1-2 Monaco. The model and the market were not perfectly aligned, but one side of that divide ended up cashing out.

Olympique Lyonnais struck first through Pavel Sulc 42', but Monaco recovered and flipped the match.

The numbers leaned the same way as the scoreline: Monaco led Shots on target 4-7. Monaco also shaded Corners 2-6.

Before kickoff, our model made Olympique Lyonnais the likeliest result at 49.9%, while the median bookmaker line priced Monaco at 40.0% implied. On BTTS, the model leaned Yes (56.8%), and that angle landed.
