Postmatch editorial
The prices said close and the pitch agreed
The final score was Wolverhampton Wanderers 1-1 Fulham. The draw was not the loudest pre-match angle, but the game never fully escaped its balance.
Mateus Mané put the first mark on the match 25', setting the tone for the rest of the night.
The raw numbers were a little messier than the result: Fulham led Possession 31%-69%, even though the scoreboard went another way. Fulham also shaded Shots on target 3-5.
Before kickoff, the median bookmaker prices made Fulham the favourite at 54.1% implied probability. That market lean missed.
