Postmatch editorial
SPAL upset the pre-match prices
The final score was Pisa 1-2 SPAL. It landed away from the bookmaker favourite and counts as a genuine market upset.
Raffaele Celia put the first mark on the match 42', setting the tone for the rest of the night.
The raw numbers were a little messier than the result: Pisa led Corners 10-3, even though the scoreboard went another way. Pisa also shaded Shots on target 6-4.
Before kickoff, the median bookmaker prices made Pisa the favourite at 70.4% implied probability. That market lean missed.
