Tightly Contested Predictions

Most evenly matched fixtures by predicted outcome probabilities β€” Friday 22 December 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.

18 matches cleared our threshold on Friday 22 December 2023. RWDM vs Club Brugge KV led the list at 106% in the Jupiler Pro League. The shortlist runs from 106% down to 72%, so the tail is materially weaker than the top.

League Two 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.

18 fixtures met the criteria, led by RWDM vs Club Brugge KV at 106% outcome evenness.
