Postmatch editorial
Draw found the margin in a finely priced match
The final score was Rayo Vallecano 1-1 Girona. The model and the market were not perfectly aligned, but one side of that divide ended up cashing out.
The late equaliser came from Cristhian Stuani 90', which kept the game level at the finish.
The raw numbers were a little messier than the result: Rayo Vallecano led Total shots 18-9, even though the scoreboard went another way. Rayo Vallecano also shaded Corners 9-5.
Before kickoff, our model made Rayo Vallecano the likeliest result at 48.0%, while the median bookmaker line priced Rayo Vallecano at 44.4% implied. On BTTS, the model leaned No (54.0%), and that angle missed.
