Postmatch editorial
The pre-match tension never quite broke
The final score was Rennes 0-0 Metz. The draw was not the loudest pre-match angle, but the game never fully escaped its balance.
Neither Rennes nor Metz found a breakthrough, so the game stayed goalless all the way through.
The raw numbers were a little messier than the result: Rennes led Shots on target 8-2, even though the scoreboard went another way. Rennes also shaded Total shots 25-7.
Before kickoff, the median bookmaker prices made Rennes the favourite at 76.6% implied probability. That market lean missed.
