Tightly Contested Predictions

Most evenly matched fixtures by predicted outcome probabilities — Saturday 3 February 2024

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 Saturday 3 February 2024. Kortrijk vs Charleroi sits top on 102% in the Jupiler Pro League. The shortlist runs from 102% down to 84%, so the tail is materially weaker than the top.

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

Our Poisson model estimates each team's expected goals from their attack and defence strengths, then builds a probability for every possible scoreline.
