Tightly Contested Predictions
Most evenly matched fixtures by predicted outcome probabilities — Monday 22 August 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.
18 matches cleared our threshold on Monday 22 August 2022. The strongest reading belongs to Kalmar FF vs IFK Goteborg at 99% in the Allsvenskan. The shortlist runs from 99% down to 69%, so the depth of the card matters as much as the headline pick.
The shortlist spans eight different competitions, a broad spread rather than one division dominating.
