Postmatch editorial
Slovan Liberec upset the pre-match prices
The final score was Slovan Liberec 1-0 Gent. It landed away from the bookmaker favourite and counts as a genuine market upset.
Yusuf put the first mark on the match 29', setting the tone for the rest of the night.
The raw numbers were a little messier than the result: Gent led Shots on target 2-4, even though the scoreboard went another way. Gent also shaded Possession 27%-73%.
Before kickoff, the median bookmaker prices made Gent the favourite at 39.0% implied probability. That market lean missed.
