Postmatch editorial
Chesterfield upset the pre-match prices
The final score was Stevenage 0-1 Chesterfield. It landed away from the bookmaker favourite and counts as a genuine market upset.
Lee Bonis put the first mark on the match 61', setting the tone for the rest of the night.
The raw numbers were a little messier than the result: Stevenage led Corners 8-3, even though the scoreboard went another way. Chesterfield also shaded Possession 39%-61%.
Before kickoff, the median bookmaker prices made Stevenage the favourite at 57.6% implied probability. That market lean missed.
