Tightly Contested Predictions

Most evenly matched fixtures by predicted outcome probabilities — Monday 9 August 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.

16 fixtures cleared the bar on Monday 9 August 2021. Union La Calera vs Everton de Vina sits top on 108% in the Primera División. The shortlist runs from 108% down to 62%, so the tail is materially weaker than the top.

The shortlist spans seven different competitions, a broad spread rather than one division dominating.
