Tightly Contested Predictions

Most evenly matched fixtures by predicted outcome probabilities β€” Friday 3 March 2023

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 20 fixtures on Friday 3 March 2023. Stal Mielec vs Piast Gliwice led the list at 100% in the Ekstraklasa. The shortlist runs from 100% down to 75%, which is a meaningful spread across a single day.

Premier Division supplies four of the top 10, which is worth noting if you are spreading selections across leagues.

20 fixtures met the criteria, led by Stal Mielec vs Piast Gliwice at 100% outcome evenness.
