Tightly Contested Predictions

Most evenly matched fixtures by predicted outcome probabilities β€” Friday 7 June 2024

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.

The model shortlists nine fixtures on Friday 7 June 2024. HJK Helsinki vs SJK sits top on 104% in the Veikkausliiga. The shortlist runs from 104% down to 75%, so the depth of the card matters as much as the headline pick.

Veikkausliiga supplies four of the top 9, which is worth noting if you are spreading selections across leagues.
