Postmatch editorial

Kosovo flipped the prices on their head

The final score was Sweden 0-1 Kosovo. It landed away from the main pre-match lean and counts as a genuine twist in the numbers.

Fisnik Asllani put the first mark on the match 32', setting the tone for the rest of the night.

The raw numbers were a little messier than the result: Sweden led Corners 12-0, even though the scoreboard went another way. Sweden also shaded Total shots 13-7.

Before kickoff, our model made Sweden the likeliest result at 59.4%, while the median bookmaker line priced Sweden at 75.2% implied. On BTTS, the model leaned Yes (53.6%), and that angle missed.
