Postmatch editorial

Cagliari flipped the prices on their head

The final score was Torino 1-2 Cagliari. It landed away from the main pre-match lean and counts as a genuine twist in the numbers.

Torino struck first through Nikola Vlašić 27', but Cagliari recovered and flipped the match.

The raw numbers were a little messier than the result: Torino led Shots on target 10-4, even though the scoreboard went another way. Torino also shaded Total shots 19-9.

Before kickoff, our model made Torino the likeliest result at 49.3%, while the median bookmaker line priced Torino at 55.1% implied. On BTTS, the model leaned No (53.5%), and that angle missed.
