Postmatch editorial

Fulham upset the pre-match prices

The final score was West Ham United 2-3 Fulham. It landed away from the bookmaker favourite and counts as a genuine market upset.

The decisive turn arrived late when Oscar Bobb scored 78' for Fulham.

The numbers leaned the same way as the scoreline: Fulham led Shots on target 3-6. Fulham also shaded Possession 39%-61%.

Before kickoff, the median bookmaker prices made West Ham United the favourite at 39.2% implied probability. That market lean missed.
