Tightly Contested Predictions

Most evenly matched fixtures by predicted outcome probabilities — Saturday 15 May 2021

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.

18 fixtures cleared the bar on Saturday 15 May 2021. IK brage vs Norrby IF sits top on 110% in the Superettan. The shortlist runs from 110% down to 66%, so the tail is materially weaker than the top.

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