Postmatch editorial

Lecce settled a divided pre-match read

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

Lameck Banda put the first mark on the match 52', setting the tone for the rest of the night.

The raw numbers were a little messier than the result: Pisa led Total shots 17-7, even though the scoreboard went another way. Pisa also shaded Corners 6-1.

Before kickoff, our model made Pisa the likeliest result at 42.8%, while the median bookmaker line priced Lecce at 42.1% implied. On BTTS, the model leaned No (53.5%), and that angle missed.
