MARSEILLE - OLYMPIACOS
A narrow edge, nothing more. Marseille is the shortest price on a book of 2.375 / 3.4 / 2.9 (1 / X / 2), an implied 39.7%. Across the three outcomes the book reads 39.7% / 27.7% / 32.5% on an overround of 6.0%.
The draw is unusually well backed at 3.4 (27.7%), which normally points to a cagey, low-scoring game rather than an open one.
Money has come for under 2.5 goals: the price has shortened from 2.12 to 2.00, a move of 6.0%. Steam like that on the day of the game usually reflects team news the wider market has not caught up with yet.
