Tightly Contested Predictions

Most evenly matched fixtures by predicted outcome probabilities — Sunday 17 July 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 17 July 2022. The strongest reading belongs to Everton de Vina vs Union Espanola at 100% in the Primera División. The shortlist runs from 100% down to 79%, which is a meaningful spread across a single day.

Serie A supplies three of the top 10, so the day's profile is concentrated rather than spread evenly.
