İstanbul Başakşehir flipped the prices on their head

The final score was Viking 1-3 İstanbul Başakşehir. It landed away from the bookmaker favourite and counts as a genuine market upset.

Viking struck first through Sander Svendsen 2', but İstanbul Başakşehir recovered and flipped the match.

The raw numbers were a little messier than the result: Viking led Corners 10-2, even though the scoreboard went another way. Viking also shaded Total shots 16-8.

Before kickoff, the median bookmaker prices made Viking the favourite at 50.0% implied probability. That market lean missed.
