Postmatch editorial
The scoreboard moved against the market favourite
The final score was Montpellier 1-2 Clermont. It landed away from the bookmaker favourite and counts as a genuine market upset.
Montpellier struck first through Alexandre Mendy 22', but Clermont recovered and flipped the match.
The raw numbers were a little messier than the result: Montpellier led Shots on target 6-3, even though the scoreboard went another way. Montpellier also shaded Corners 11-2.
Before kickoff, the median bookmaker prices made Montpellier the favourite at 61.7% implied probability. That market lean missed.
