The scoreboard moved against the market favourite
The final score was Dijon 2-0 Nice. It landed away from the bookmaker favourite and counts as a genuine market upset.
The decisive turn arrived late when Y. Benzia scored 77' for Dijon.
The raw numbers were a little messier than the result: Nice led Corners 1-9, even though the scoreboard went another way. Dijon also shaded Shots on target 3-2.
Before kickoff, the median bookmaker prices made Nice the favourite at 57.1% implied probability. That market lean missed.
