Postmatch editorial

New Zealand found the margin in a finely priced match

The final score was Solomon Islands 0-5 New Zealand. The model and the market were not perfectly aligned, but one side of that divide ended up cashing out.

The decisive turn arrived late when Matthew Garbett scored 90+1' for New Zealand.

Before kickoff, our model made Solomon Islands the likeliest result at 46.8%, while the median bookmaker line priced New Zealand at 87.0% implied. On BTTS, the model leaned Yes (57.6%), and that angle missed.
