Postmatch editorial
Grasshopper upset the pre-match prices
The final score was Grasshopper 2-0 St. Gallen. It landed away from the bookmaker favourite and counts as a genuine market upset.
Amir Abrashi put the first mark on the match 36', setting the tone for the rest of the night.
The numbers leaned the same way as the scoreline: Grasshopper led Shots on target 8-4. St. Gallen also shaded Corners 7-14.
Before kickoff, the median bookmaker prices made St. Gallen the favourite at 63.3% implied probability. That market lean missed.
