Postmatch editorial

The scoreboard moved against the market favourite

The final score was OH Leuven 1-2 SK Beveren. It landed away from the bookmaker favourite and counts as a genuine market upset.

Louis Verstraete put the first mark on the match 30', setting the tone for the rest of the night.

The numbers leaned the same way as the scoreline: SK Beveren led Shots on target 2-9. OH Leuven also shaded Corners 5-3.

Before kickoff, the median bookmaker prices made OH Leuven the favourite at 55.2% implied probability. That market lean missed.
