Anorthosis upset the pre-match prices

The final score was Anorthosis 1-0 Gent. It landed away from the bookmaker favourite and counts as a genuine market upset.

The raw numbers were a little messier than the result: Gent led Total shots 2-10, even though the scoreboard went another way. Gent also shaded Corners 0-3.

Before kickoff, the median bookmaker prices made Gent the favourite at 67.1% implied probability. That market lean missed.
