Postmatch editorial
The prices said close and the pitch agreed
The final score was Strasbourg 1-1 Rijeka. The draw was not the loudest pre-match angle, but the game never fully escaped its balance.
The late equaliser came from ValentÃn Barco 71', which kept the game level at the finish.
The raw numbers were a little messier than the result: Strasbourg led Shots on target 4-2, even though the scoreboard went another way. Rijeka also shaded Corners 4-8.
Before kickoff, the median bookmaker prices made Strasbourg the favourite at 71.9% implied probability. That market lean missed.
