Postmatch editorial

Laval upset the pre-match prices

The final score was Laval 2-1 Nantes. It landed away from the bookmaker favourite and counts as a genuine market upset.

The decisive turn arrived late when Mathys Houdayer scored 90+5' for Laval.

The raw numbers were a little messier than the result: Nantes led Corners 2-7, even though the scoreboard went another way. Laval also shaded Shots on target 5-3.

Before kickoff, the median bookmaker prices made Nantes the favourite at 50.0% implied probability. That market lean missed.
