Postmatch editorial
Kauno Žalgiris upset the pre-match prices
The final score was Kauno Žalgiris 1-0 Beşiktaş. It landed away from the bookmaker favourite and counts as a genuine market upset.
Renan Oliveira put the first mark on the match 64', setting the tone for the rest of the night.
The raw numbers were a little messier than the result: Beşiktaş led Shots on target 2-4, even though the scoreboard went another way. Beşiktaş also shaded Possession 29%-71%.
Before kickoff, the median bookmaker prices made Beşiktaş the favourite at 75.2% implied probability. That market lean missed.
