Tightly Contested Predictions

Most evenly matched fixtures by predicted outcome probabilities β€” Friday 12 May 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.

20 matches cleared our threshold on Friday 12 May 2023. The strongest reading belongs to Khon Kaen United vs Bangkok United at 90% in the Thai League 1. The shortlist runs from 90% down to 73%, so the depth of the card matters as much as the headline pick.

Thai League 1 supplies three of the top 10, making it the dominant competition on this list.

Tightly Contested β€” common questions

What does the Tightly Contested market mean?

Tightly Contested settles on whether a match is close to a three-way coin toss between home, draw and away. It is one of the most commonly offered football markets and is priced by every major bookmaker.

How does Fixture360 calculate tightly contested probability?

Our Poisson model estimates each team's expected goals from their attack and defence strengths, then builds a probability for every possible scoreline. The outcome evenness shown here is how evenly the model spreads probability across all three results. No bookmaker odds are used as an input — the model is independent of the market.

How many fixtures qualified for Tightly Contested on Friday 12 May 2023?

20 fixtures met the criteria, led by Khon Kaen United vs Bangkok United at 90% outcome evenness.

Which fixtures appear on this page?

Fixtures with the smallest spread between home, draw and away probability, ranked strongest first. The page defaults to today; the date strip moves to other days, and only fixtures with enough underlying result history to generate a model snapshot are eligible.

How accurate are these tightly contested predictions?

Every settled prediction is scored and published on our model accuracy page, broken down by market and league. Treat any single day as a small sample — the model is built to be judged over hundreds of fixtures, not one card.

Are these predictions betting tips?

No. These are model outputs published for information, with no stake or return implied. Gambling carries real financial risk — please read our responsible gambling guidance.
