Tightly Contested Predictions

Most evenly matched fixtures by predicted outcome probabilities β€” Tuesday 2 December 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.

The model shortlists nine fixtures on Tuesday 2 December 2025. Wigan vs Burton Albion sits top on 97% in the League One. The shortlist runs from 97% down to 67%, so the depth of the card matters as much as the headline pick.

Premier League supplies three of the top 9, which is worth noting if you are spreading selections across leagues.
