Postmatch editorial
The pre-match tension never quite broke

The raw numbers were a little messier than the result: Real Oviedo led Total shots 10-6, even though the scoreboard went another way. Real Oviedo also shaded Shots on target 3-2.
Before kickoff, our model made Celta de Vigo the likeliest result at 46.1%, while the median bookmaker line priced Celta de Vigo at 45.5% implied. On BTTS, the model leaned Yes (50.5%), and that angle missed.
