Tightly Contested Predictions

Most evenly matched fixtures by predicted outcome probabilities β€” Friday 6 August 2021

These fixtures have the smallest gap between home and away win probability β€” 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 ten fixtures on Friday 6 August 2021. Lech Poznan vs Cracovia Krakow led the list at 109% in the Ekstraklasa. The shortlist runs from 109% down to 79%, which is a meaningful spread across a single day.

Super League supplies four of the top 10, which is worth noting if you are spreading selections across leagues.
