Postmatch editorial
The prices said close and the pitch agreed
The final score was Swansea City 0-0 Sheffield United. The draw was not the loudest pre-match angle, but the game never fully escaped its balance.
Neither Swansea City nor Sheffield United found a breakthrough, so the game stayed goalless all the way through.
The raw numbers were a little messier than the result: Sheffield United led Shots on target 1-2, even though the scoreboard went another way. Swansea City also shaded Possession 69%-31%.
Before kickoff, the median bookmaker prices made Sheffield United the favourite at 38.5% implied probability. That market lean missed.
