Tightly Contested Predictions

Most evenly matched fixtures by predicted outcome probabilities β€” Monday 2 March 2026

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 eleven fixtures on Monday 2 March 2026. Daejeon Citizen vs FC Anyang led the list at 93% in the K League 1. The shortlist runs from 93% down to 62%, which is a meaningful spread across a single day.

The shortlist spans nine different competitions, a broad spread rather than one division dominating.
