Tightly Contested Predictions

Most evenly matched fixtures by predicted outcome probabilities — Saturday 21 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 matches cleared our threshold on Saturday 21 May 2022. The strongest reading belongs to Antofagasta vs Everton de Vina at 102% in the Primera División. The shortlist runs from 102% down to 83%, so the depth of the card matters as much as the headline pick.

Serie A supplies three of the top 10, making it the dominant competition on this list.

Our Poisson model estimates each team's expected goals from their attack and defence strengths, then builds a probability for every possible scoreline.

20 fixtures met the criteria, led by Antofagasta vs Everton de Vina at 102% outcome evenness.
