Postmatch editorial
Shamrock Rovers upset the pre-match prices
The final score was Shkupi 1-2 Shamrock Rovers. It landed away from the bookmaker favourite and counts as a genuine market upset.
Rory Gaffney put the first mark on the match 65', setting the tone for the rest of the night.
The raw numbers were a little messier than the result: Shkupi led Total shots 18-7, even though the scoreboard went another way. Shamrock Rovers also shaded Possession 33%-66%.
Before kickoff, the median bookmaker prices made Shkupi the favourite at 46.3% implied probability. That market lean missed.
