Tightly Contested Predictions

Most evenly matched fixtures by predicted outcome probabilities β€” Friday 30 April 2021

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.

Six fixtures cleared the bar on Friday 30 April 2021. FC Seoul vs Seongnam FC sits top on 107% in the K League 1. The shortlist runs from 107% down to 79%, so the tail is materially weaker than the top.

Premier Division supplies five of the top 6, so the day's profile is concentrated rather than spread evenly.
