Postmatch editorial
The prices said close and the pitch agreed
The final score was Queens Park Rangers 0-0 Bolton Wanderers. The draw was not the loudest pre-match angle, but the game never fully escaped its balance.
Neither Queens Park Rangers nor Bolton Wanderers found a breakthrough, so the game stayed goalless all the way through.
The raw numbers were a little messier than the result: Queens Park Rangers led Shots on target 10-0, even though the scoreboard went another way. Queens Park Rangers also shaded Total shots 18-2.
Before kickoff, the median bookmaker prices made Queens Park Rangers the favourite at 52.5% implied probability. That market lean missed.
