Tightly Contested Predictions

Most evenly matched fixtures by predicted outcome probabilities — Tuesday 8 September 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 twelve fixtures on Tuesday 8 September 2026. Incheon United vs Bucheon FC 1995 tops the list at 102% in the K League 1. The shortlist runs from 102% down to 68%, which is a meaningful spread across a single day.

Championship supplies five of the top 10, which is worth noting if you are spreading selections across leagues.
