Tightly Contested Predictions

Most evenly matched fixtures by predicted outcome probabilities β€” Wednesday 12 February 2025

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.

Seven fixtures cleared the bar on Wednesday 12 February 2025. The strongest reading belongs to Burnley vs Hull City at 103% in the Championship. The shortlist runs from 103% down to 75%, which is a meaningful spread across a single day.

Championship supplies six of the top 7, so the day's profile is concentrated rather than spread evenly.
