Tightly Contested Predictions

Most evenly matched fixtures by predicted outcome probabilities β€” Friday 25 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.

The model shortlists seven fixtures on Friday 25 June 2021. Bahia vs Atletico Paranaense sits top on 93% in the Serie A. The shortlist runs from 93% down to 80%, so the depth of the card matters as much as the headline pick.

Premier Division supplies three of the top 7, which is worth noting if you are spreading selections across leagues.
