Tightly Contested Predictions

Most evenly matched fixtures by predicted outcome probabilities β€” Wednesday 15 February 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.

Eight fixtures cleared the bar on Wednesday 15 February 2023. The strongest reading belongs to FC Winterthur vs Servette FC at 91% in the Super League. The shortlist runs from 91% down to 66%, which is a meaningful spread across a single day.

Championship supplies six of the top 8, so the day's profile is concentrated rather than spread evenly.
