Tightly Contested Predictions

Most evenly matched fixtures by predicted outcome probabilities β€” Tuesday 31 January 2023

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.

17 fixtures cleared the bar on Tuesday 31 January 2023. The strongest reading belongs to Grenoble vs Quevilly at 101% in the Ligue 2. The shortlist runs from 101% down to 72%, which is a meaningful spread across a single day.

Ligue 2 supplies seven of the top 10, so the day's profile is concentrated rather than spread evenly.

17 fixtures met the criteria, led by Grenoble vs Quevilly at 101% outcome evenness.
