Postmatch editorial
The scoreboard moved against the market favourite
The final score was Wrexham 1-2 Birmingham City. It landed away from the bookmaker favourite and counts as a genuine market upset.
Phil Neumann put the first mark on the match 13', setting the tone for the rest of the night.
The numbers leaned the same way as the scoreline: Birmingham City led Corners 3-6. Wrexham also shaded Possession 61%-39%.
Before kickoff, the median bookmaker prices made Wrexham the favourite at 45.5% implied probability. That market lean missed.
