Postmatch editorial

Nottingham Forest settled a divided pre-match read

The final score was Tottenham Hotspur 0-3 Nottingham Forest. 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 Taiwo Awoniyi  scored 87' for Nottingham Forest.

The numbers leaned the same way as the scoreline: Nottingham Forest led Shots on target 3-7. Tottenham Hotspur also shaded Corners 13-3.

Before kickoff, our model made Nottingham Forest the likeliest result at 39.8%, while the median bookmaker line priced Tottenham Hotspur at 42.4% implied. On BTTS, the model leaned Yes (61.8%), and that angle missed.
