Postmatch editorial
Glentoran upset the pre-match prices
The final score was Glentoran 1-0 HB. It landed away from the bookmaker favourite and counts as a genuine market upset.
Robbie McDaid put the first mark on the match 42', setting the tone for the rest of the night.
The raw numbers were a little messier than the result: HB led Shots on target 2-3, even though the scoreboard went another way. HB also shaded Total shots 7-11.
Before kickoff, the median bookmaker prices made HB the favourite at 40.8% implied probability. That market lean missed.
