Tightly Contested Predictions

Most evenly matched fixtures by predicted outcome probabilities — Saturday 7 March 2026

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 Saturday 7 March 2026. The strongest reading belongs to Piast Gliwice vs Zaglebie Lubin at 98% in the Ekstraklasa. The shortlist runs from 98% down to 82%, so the depth of the card matters as much as the headline pick.

The shortlist spans nine different competitions, so there is no single league driving the day.

Our Poisson model estimates each team's expected goals from their attack and defence strengths, then builds a probability for every possible scoreline.

20 fixtures met the criteria, led by Piast Gliwice vs Zaglebie Lubin at 98% outcome evenness.
