Postmatch editorial
Sligo Rovers upset the pre-match prices
The final score was Sligo Rovers 2-0 Motherwell. It landed away from the bookmaker favourite and counts as a genuine market upset.
The decisive turn arrived late when Max Mata scored 90+1' for Sligo Rovers.
The raw numbers were a little messier than the result: Motherwell led Possession 36%-64%, even though the scoreboard went another way. Motherwell also shaded Corners 4-8.
Before kickoff, the median bookmaker prices made Motherwell the favourite at 54.1% implied probability. That market lean missed.
