Postmatch editorial
Alvechurch flipped the prices on their head
The final score was Cheltenham Town 1-2 Alvechurch. It landed away from the bookmaker favourite and counts as a genuine market upset.
Danny Waldron put the first mark on the match 19', setting the tone for the rest of the night.
The raw numbers were a little messier than the result: Cheltenham Town led Shots on target 4-2, even though the scoreboard went another way. Cheltenham Town also shaded Corners 6-1.
Before kickoff, the median bookmaker prices made Cheltenham Town the favourite at 84.7% implied probability. That market lean missed.
