Tightly Contested Predictions

Most evenly matched fixtures by predicted outcome probabilities — Sunday 27 April 2025

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 Sunday 27 April 2025. The strongest reading belongs to Gimcheon Sangmu FC vs Ulsan Hyundai FC at 104% in the K League 1. The shortlist runs from 104% down to 80%, which is a meaningful spread across a single day.

K League 1 supplies three of the top 10, so the day's profile is concentrated rather than spread evenly.

Tightly Contested settles on whether a match is close to a three-way coin toss between home, draw and away. It is one of the most commonly offered football markets and is priced by every major bookmaker.

How does Fixture360 calculate tightly contested probability?

Our Poisson model estimates each team's expected goals from their attack and defence strengths, then builds a probability for every possible scoreline. The outcome evenness shown here is how evenly the model spreads probability across all three results. No bookmaker odds are used as an input — the model is independent of the market.

How many fixtures qualified for Tightly Contested on Sunday 27 April 2025?

20 fixtures met the criteria, led by Gimcheon Sangmu FC vs Ulsan Hyundai FC at 104% outcome evenness.
