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.
