Tightly Contested Predictions

Most evenly matched fixtures by predicted outcome probabilities — Friday 11 August 2023

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.

20 fixtures cleared the bar on Friday 11 August 2023. The strongest reading belongs to Piast Gliwice vs Raków Częstochowa at 95% in the Ekstraklasa. The shortlist runs from 95% down to 74%, which is a meaningful spread across a single day.

The shortlist spans eight different competitions, a broad spread rather than one division dominating.

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 11 August 2023?

20 fixtures met the criteria, led by Piast Gliwice vs Raków Częstochowa at 95% outcome evenness.

Which fixtures appear on this page?
