Postmatch editorial

Sheffield Wednesday upset the pre-match prices

The final score was Leyton Orient 1-2 Sheffield Wednesday. It landed away from the bookmaker favourite and counts as a genuine market upset.

Callum Slattery put the first mark on the match 19', setting the tone for the rest of the night.

The numbers leaned the same way as the scoreline: Sheffield Wednesday led Shots on target 3-5. Sheffield Wednesday also shaded Total shots 10-14.

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