Postmatch editorial
The scoreboard moved against the market favourite
The final score was Nice 0-1 Caen. It landed away from the bookmaker favourite and counts as a genuine market upset.
Alexander Djiku put the first mark on the match 74', setting the tone for the rest of the night.
The raw numbers were a little messier than the result: Nice led Shots on target 8-2, even though the scoreboard went another way. Nice also shaded Total shots 21-7.
Before kickoff, the median bookmaker prices made Nice the favourite at 61.7% implied probability. That market lean missed.
