Tightly Contested Predictions

Most evenly matched fixtures by predicted outcome probabilities β€” Thursday 16 December 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.

Ten matches cleared our threshold on Thursday 16 December 2021. Inhulets vs Ruh Lviv led the list at 92% in the Premier League. The shortlist runs from 92% down to 70%, so the tail is materially weaker than the top.

Super League supplies four of the top 10, making it the dominant competition on this list.
