Postmatch editorial
Cagliari upset the pre-match prices
The final score was Cagliari 3-2 Atalanta. It landed away from the bookmaker favourite and counts as a genuine market upset.
Paul Mendy put the first mark on the match 1', setting the tone for the rest of the night.
The raw numbers were a little messier than the result: Atalanta led Possession 27%-73%, even though the scoreboard went another way. Atalanta also shaded Shots on target 4-6.
Before kickoff, the median bookmaker prices made Atalanta the favourite at 57.8% implied probability. That market lean missed.
