Postmatch editorial
Lecce upset the pre-match prices
The final score was Sassuolo 2-3 Lecce. It landed away from the bookmaker favourite and counts as a genuine market upset.
The decisive turn arrived late when Nikola Stulic scored 90+6' for Lecce.
The raw numbers were a little messier than the result: Sassuolo led Possession 74%-26%, even though the scoreboard went another way. Lecce also shaded Corners 2-8.
Before kickoff, the median bookmaker prices made Sassuolo the favourite at 39.2% implied probability. That market lean missed.
