Tightly Contested Predictions
Most evenly matched fixtures by predicted outcome probabilities — Thursday 5 May 2022
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 twelve fixtures on Thursday 5 May 2022. Jeonbuk Motors vs FC Seoul led the list at 100% in the K League 1. The shortlist runs from 100% down to 61%, which is a meaningful spread across a single day.
K League 1 supplies five of the top 10, which is worth noting if you are spreading selections across leagues.
