Postmatch editorial

One side of the split call landed for Paris

The final score was Paris 4-1 Monaco. The model and the market were not perfectly aligned, but one side of that divide ended up cashing out.

Jonathan Ikoné put the first mark on the match 4', setting the tone for the rest of the night.

The raw numbers were a little messier than the result: Monaco led Corners 1-11, even though the scoreboard went another way. Monaco also shaded Possession 34%-66%.

Before kickoff, our model made Monaco the likeliest result at 38.2%, while the median bookmaker line priced Monaco at 52.4% implied. On BTTS, the model leaned Yes (53.7%), and that angle landed.
