Postmatch editorial

Auxerre upset the pre-match prices

The final score was LOSC Lille 0-2 Auxerre. It landed away from the bookmaker favourite and counts as a genuine market upset.

The decisive turn arrived late when Lassine Sinayoko scored 90' for Auxerre.

The raw numbers were a little messier than the result: LOSC Lille led Possession 73%-27%, even though the scoreboard went another way. LOSC Lille also shaded Total shots 12-7.

Before kickoff, the median bookmaker prices made LOSC Lille the favourite at 70.4% implied probability. That market lean missed.
