Match likely to be a draw? (3)
I believe the answer is:
tie
This might be a double definition.
'match likely' is the first definition.
'tie' can be an answer for 'match' (tie can mean a sporting fixture). I'm unsure of the 'likely' bit.
'a draw?' is the second definition.
(I know that draw can be written as tie)
'to be' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for tie that I've seen before include "Failure to win" , "Attach, fasten" , "Join, link" , "line above notes" , "around the neck?" .)
