Postmatch editorial
The scoreboard moved against the market favourite
The final score was Nice 1-2 Slovácko. It landed away from the bookmaker favourite and counts as a genuine market upset.
Nice struck first through Sofiane Diop 14', but Slovácko recovered and flipped the match.
The raw numbers were a little messier than the result: Nice led Shots on target 9-5, even though the scoreboard went another way. Nice also shaded Total shots 18-9.
Before kickoff, the median bookmaker prices made Nice the favourite at 69.9% implied probability. That market lean missed.
