Postmatch editorial
The pre-match tension never quite broke
The final score was Rayo Vallecano 1-1 Getafe. The draw was not the loudest pre-match angle, but the game never fully escaped its balance.
The late equaliser came from Mauro Arambarri 90', which kept the game level at the finish.
The raw numbers were a little messier than the result: Rayo Vallecano led Possession 60%-40%, even though the scoreboard went another way. Rayo Vallecano also shaded Corners 3-2.
Before kickoff, our model made Rayo Vallecano the likeliest result at 56.7%, while the median bookmaker line priced Rayo Vallecano at 47.6% implied. On BTTS, the model leaned No (58.4%), and that angle missed.
