Solomon Islands settled a divided pre-match read

The final score was Papua New Guinea 1-2 Solomon Islands. The model and the market were not perfectly aligned, but one side of that divide ended up cashing out.

Junior David put the first mark on the match 41', setting the tone for the rest of the night.

Before kickoff, our model made Solomon Islands the likeliest result at 43.7%, while the median bookmaker line priced Papua New Guinea at 48.8% implied. On BTTS, the model leaned Yes (53.1%), and that angle landed.
