Postmatch editorial

One side of the split call landed for Sevilla

The final score was Sevilla 1-0 Real Sociedad. The model and the market were not perfectly aligned, but one side of that divide ended up cashing out.

Alexis Sánchez put the first mark on the match 50', setting the tone for the rest of the night.

The numbers leaned the same way as the scoreline: Sevilla led Shots on target 5-0. Sevilla also shaded Total shots 19-6.

Before kickoff, our model made Real Sociedad the likeliest result at 42.2%, while the median bookmaker line priced Sevilla at 41.7% implied. On BTTS, the model leaned Yes (51.8%), and that angle missed.
