Borac Banja Luka flipped the prices on their head

The final score was APOEL 0-1 Borac Banja Luka. It landed away from the bookmaker favourite and counts as a genuine market upset.

Stefan Savic put the first mark on the match 63', setting the tone for the rest of the night.

The raw numbers were a little messier than the result: APOEL led Total shots 23-4, even though the scoreboard went another way. APOEL also shaded Possession 74%-26%.

Before kickoff, the median bookmaker prices made APOEL the favourite at 69.0% implied probability. That market lean missed.
