Tightly Contested Predictions

Most evenly matched fixtures by predicted outcome probabilities — Saturday 31 July 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.

20 matches cleared our threshold on Saturday 31 July 2021. Nieciecza vs Wisla Krakow led the list at 105% in the Ekstraklasa. The shortlist runs from 105% down to 86%, so the tail is materially weaker than the top.

Ekstraklasa supplies three of the top 10, making it the dominant competition on this list.

How does Fixture360 calculate tightly contested probability?

Our Poisson model estimates each team's expected goals from their attack and defence strengths, then builds a probability for every possible scoreline.

20 fixtures met the criteria, led by Nieciecza vs Wisla Krakow at 105% outcome evenness.

Which fixtures appear on this page?

Fixtures with the smallest spread between home, draw and away probability, ranked strongest first. The page defaults to today; the date strip moves to other days, and only fixtures with enough underlying result history to generate a model snapshot are eligible.

How accurate are these tightly contested predictions?

Every settled prediction is scored and published on our model accuracy page, broken down by market and league. Treat any single day as a small sample — the model is built to be judged over hundreds of fixtures, not one card.
