AFC Wimbledon upset the pre-match prices
The final score was AFC Wimbledon 1-0 Wigan Athletic. It landed away from the bookmaker favourite and counts as a genuine market upset.
The decisive turn arrived late when Myles Hippolyte scored 88' for AFC Wimbledon.
The raw numbers were a little messier than the result: Wigan Athletic led Shots on target 2-5, even though the scoreboard went another way. Wigan Athletic also shaded Possession 43%-57%.
Before kickoff, the median bookmaker prices made Wigan Athletic the favourite at 41.7% implied probability. That market lean missed.
