Tightly Contested Predictions

Most evenly matched fixtures by predicted outcome probabilities β€” Sunday 20 September 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.

20 matches cleared our threshold on Sunday 20 September 2026. The strongest reading belongs to Volos NFC vs AEK Athens FC at 100% in the Super League 1. The shortlist runs from 100% down to 80%, so the depth of the card matters as much as the headline pick.

Serie A 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.

20 fixtures met the criteria, led by Volos NFC vs AEK Athens FC at 100% outcome evenness.

How accurate are these tightly contested predictions?

Every settled prediction is scored and published on our model accuracy page, broken down by market and league. Treat any single day as a small sample — the model is built to be judged over hundreds of fixtures, not one card.
