Tightly Contested Predictions

Most evenly matched fixtures by predicted outcome probabilities — Sunday 8 May 2022

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.

20 fixtures cleared the bar on Sunday 8 May 2022. Jeju United FC vs Gimcheon Sangmu FC sits top on 99% in the K League 1. The shortlist runs from 99% down to 83%, so the tail is materially weaker than the top.

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

How does Fixture360 calculate tightly contested probability?

Our Poisson model estimates each team's expected goals from their attack and defence strengths, then builds a probability for every possible scoreline. The outcome evenness shown here is how evenly the model spreads probability across all three results. No bookmaker odds are used as an input — the model is independent of the market.

20 fixtures met the criteria, led by Jeju United FC vs Gimcheon Sangmu FC at 99% outcome evenness.
