Postmatch editorial

The scoreboard moved against the market favourite

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

Amine El Farissi put the first mark on the match 23', setting the tone for the rest of the night.

The raw numbers were a little messier than the result: Bastia led Shots on target 4-1, even though the scoreboard went another way. Bastia also shaded Total shots 13-4.

Before kickoff, the median bookmaker prices made Bastia the favourite at 50.0% implied probability. That market lean missed.
