Postmatch editorial
The prices said close and the pitch agreed
The final score was Troyes 1-1 LOSC Lille. The draw was not the loudest pre-match angle, but the game never fully escaped its balance.
The late equaliser came from Rony Lopes 72', which kept the game level at the finish.
The raw numbers were a little messier than the result: LOSC Lille led Shots on target 3-7, even though the scoreboard went another way. LOSC Lille also shaded Total shots 8-18.
Before kickoff, the median bookmaker prices made LOSC Lille the favourite at 86.2% implied probability. That market lean missed.
