Tightly Contested Predictions

Most evenly matched fixtures by predicted outcome probabilities — Friday 28 August 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.

The model shortlists 20 fixtures on Friday 28 August 2026. Wisla Plock vs Korona Kielce sits top on 105% in the Ekstraklasa. The shortlist runs from 105% down to 76%, so the depth of the card matters as much as the headline pick.

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