Postmatch editorial

Westerlo upset the pre-match prices

The final score was Mechelen 0-4 Westerlo. It landed away from the bookmaker favourite and counts as a genuine market upset.

The decisive turn arrived late when Nikola Storm scored 88' for Westerlo.

The numbers leaned the same way as the scoreline: Westerlo led Shots on target 1-6. Westerlo also shaded Total shots 8-21.

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