Tightly Contested Predictions

Most evenly matched fixtures by predicted outcome probabilities — Friday 12 April 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 matches cleared our threshold on Friday 12 April 2024. Warta Poznań vs Korona Kielce led the list at 98% in the Ekstraklasa. The shortlist runs from 98% down to 72%, so the tail is materially weaker than the top.

Premier Division supplies three of the top 10, making it the dominant competition on this list.
