Postmatch editorial

The scoreboard moved against the pre-match lean

The final score was Rennes 1-2 LOSC Lille. It landed away from the main pre-match lean and counts as a genuine twist in the numbers.

Matías Fernández-Pardo put the first mark on the match 2', setting the tone for the rest of the night.

The raw numbers were a little messier than the result: Rennes led Corners 5-2, even though the scoreboard went another way. Rennes also shaded Total shots 12-8.

Before kickoff, our model made Rennes the likeliest result at 43.1%, while the median bookmaker line priced Rennes at 45.5% implied. On BTTS, the model leaned Yes (56.1%), and that angle landed.
