Tightly Contested Predictions

Most evenly matched fixtures by predicted outcome probabilities — Friday 6 October 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 6 October 2023. Alanyaspor vs Fatih Karagümrük sits top on 100% in the Süper Lig. The shortlist runs from 100% down to 76%, so the tail is materially weaker than the top.

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