Tightly Contested Predictions

Most evenly matched fixtures by predicted outcome probabilities — Sunday 18 January 2026

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 Sunday 18 January 2026. Kasımpaşa vs Antalyaspor led the list at 105% in the Süper Lig. The shortlist runs from 105% down to 73%, so the tail is materially weaker than the top.

Süper Lig supplies three of the top 10, making it the dominant competition on this list.

How does Fixture360 calculate tightly contested probability?

Our Poisson model estimates each team's expected goals from their attack and defence strengths, then builds a probability for every possible scoreline. The outcome evenness shown here is how evenly the model spreads probability across all three results. No bookmaker odds are used as an input — the model is independent of the market.

How many fixtures qualified for Tightly Contested on Sunday 18 January 2026?

20 fixtures met the criteria, led by Kasımpaşa vs Antalyaspor at 105% outcome evenness.

Which fixtures appear on this page?
