Tightly Contested Predictions

Most evenly matched fixtures by predicted outcome probabilities β€” Wednesday 19 January 2022

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 16 fixtures on Wednesday 19 January 2022. Celta Vigo vs Osasuna sits top on 97% in the La Liga. The shortlist runs from 97% down to 65%, so the depth of the card matters as much as the headline pick.

Süper Lig supplies three of the top 10, which is worth noting if you are spreading selections across leagues.
