Tightly Contested Predictions

Most evenly matched fixtures by predicted outcome probabilities β€” Monday 21 June 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.

Seven matches cleared our threshold on Monday 21 June 2021. Longford Town vs Waterford led the list at 91% in the Premier Division. The shortlist runs from 91% down to 75%, so the tail is materially weaker than the top.

Premier Division supplies five of the top 7, making it the dominant competition on this list.
