Tightly Contested Predictions

Most evenly matched fixtures by predicted outcome probabilities β€” Saturday 4 June 2022

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 Saturday 4 June 2022. The strongest reading belongs to Henan Jianye vs Dalian Aerbin at 92% in the Super League. The shortlist runs from 92% down to 70%, so the depth of the card matters as much as the headline pick.

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