Tightly Contested Predictions

Most evenly matched fixtures by predicted outcome probabilities β€” Wednesday 16 April 2025

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.

Eleven matches cleared our threshold on Wednesday 16 April 2025. Mirassol vs Gremio led the list at 100% in the Serie A. The shortlist runs from 100% down to 60%, so the tail is materially weaker than the top.

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