The match thread is (or should be!) different to others because it contains mainly posts that are irrelevant by the end of the match, but it can get pretty big, with lots of duplicated posts and very little that is worth replying to after the match.
So if post-match stuff is posted there (which happens if the thread isn't closed), people have to go through loads of irrelevant stuff to get to something worth reading. So it gets closed to stop this from happening.
The pre-match thread shouldn't have the same problem, as long as people can tell the difference between "pre" and "post".
