Tightly Contested Predictions

Most evenly matched fixtures by predicted outcome probabilities β€” Wednesday 9 September 2026

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.

18 fixtures cleared the bar on Wednesday 9 September 2026. Pohang Steelers vs Gimcheon Sangmu FC sits top on 108% in the K League 1. The shortlist runs from 108% down to 65%, so the tail is materially weaker than the top.

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

Tightly Contested β€” common questions

What does the Tightly Contested market mean?

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 Wednesday 9 September 2026?

18 fixtures met the criteria, led by Pohang Steelers vs Gimcheon Sangmu FC at 108% outcome evenness.

Which fixtures appear on this page?

Fixtures with the smallest spread between home, draw and away probability, ranked strongest first. The page defaults to today; the date strip moves to other days, and only fixtures with enough underlying result history to generate a model snapshot are eligible.

How accurate are these tightly contested predictions?

Every settled prediction is scored and published on our model accuracy page, broken down by market and league. Treat any single day as a small sample — the model is built to be judged over hundreds of fixtures, not one card.
