Blackpool flipped the prices on their head

The final score was Grimsby Town 1-3 Blackpool. It landed away from the bookmaker favourite and counts as a genuine market upset.

The decisive turn arrived late when Kylian Kouassi scored 90+5' for Blackpool.

The raw numbers were a little messier than the result: Grimsby Town led Shots on target 8-4, even though the scoreboard went another way. Grimsby Town also shaded Corners 13-4.

Before kickoff, the median bookmaker prices made Grimsby Town the favourite at 42.0% implied probability. That market lean missed.
