Tightly Contested Predictions

Most evenly matched fixtures by predicted outcome probabilities β€” Thursday 26 August 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.

14 fixtures cleared the bar on Thursday 26 August 2021. Al Nasr vs Al Urooba sits top on 100% in the Pro League. The shortlist runs from 100% down to 65%, so the tail is materially weaker than the top.

Pro League supplies four of the top 10, so the day's profile is concentrated rather than spread evenly.
