Postmatch editorial

Nancy upset the pre-match prices

The final score was Nancy 3-2 Dunkerque. It landed away from the bookmaker favourite and counts as a genuine market upset.

Nicolas Saint-Ruf put the first mark on the match 20', setting the tone for the rest of the night.

The raw numbers were a little messier than the result: Dunkerque led Possession 39%-61%, even though the scoreboard went another way. Dunkerque also shaded Corners 3-5.

Before kickoff, the median bookmaker prices made Dunkerque the favourite at 41.7% implied probability. That market lean missed.
