Postmatch editorial

Valencia upset the pre-match prices

The final score was Real Sociedad 3-4 Valencia. It landed away from the bookmaker favourite and counts as a genuine market upset.

Real Sociedad struck first through Aihen Muñoz 3', but Valencia recovered and flipped the match.

The numbers leaned the same way as the scoreline: Valencia led Shots on target 3-6. Valencia also shaded Total shots 8-13.

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