Tightly Contested Predictions

Most evenly matched fixtures by predicted outcome probabilities — Sunday 2 May 2021

These fixtures have the smallest gap between home and away win probability — meaning neither team has a significant edge. Our prediction model scores each fixture by how evenly the outcome probabilities are spread across all three results. Fixtures at the top are closest to a perfect 33% / 33% / 33% split, making them prime candidates for the draw and double-chance markets.

The model shortlists 17 fixtures on Sunday 2 May 2021. Halmstad vs IFK Goteborg led the list at 100% in the Allsvenskan. The shortlist runs from 100% down to 70%, which is a meaningful spread across a single day.

Allsvenskan supplies three of the top 10, which is worth noting if you are spreading selections across leagues.
