Sassuolo flipped the prices on their head

The final score was Sassuolo 2-1 Como. It landed away from the bookmaker favourite and counts as a genuine market upset.

The raw numbers were a little messier than the result: Como led Possession 30%-70%, even though the scoreboard went another way. Sassuolo also shaded Shots on target 4-3.

Before kickoff, the median bookmaker prices made Como the favourite at 66.7% implied probability. That market lean missed.
