Postmatch editorial

Lecce bent the night away from the script

The final score was Sassuolo 2-3 Lecce. It landed away from the main pre-match lean and counts as a genuine twist in the numbers.

The decisive turn arrived late when Nikola Stulic scored 90+6' for Lecce.

The raw numbers were a little messier than the result: Sassuolo led Possession 74%-26%, even though the scoreboard went another way. Lecce also shaded Corners 2-8.

Before kickoff, our model made Sassuolo the likeliest result at 50.2%, while the median bookmaker line priced Sassuolo at 39.2% implied. On BTTS, the model leaned Yes (51.2%), and that angle landed.
