Strength and dominance

| Measure | West Brom | Birmingham | How to read it |
|---|---|---|---|
| Strength (Elo) | 1507 | 1523 | The league average is 1500. A higher rating indicates stronger results after adjusting for opponent quality. |
| Change over the last 10 | 15 | 27 | Rating gained or lost over the last ten matches |
| Opposition strength | 1511 | 1512 | Average opponent rating over the last 20 matches. Above 1500 indicates a tougher schedule. |
| Shot share | 52.9% | 52.2% | Share of all shots in a match. Above 50% means the team takes more shots than its opponents. |
| Shots on target share | 60.2% | 54.1% | The same measure, counting only shots on target |
| Finishing and saving index (PDO) | 1066 | 969 | Shooting conversion plus save percentage, on a scale centred on 1000. Extreme values can reflect short-term variation. |
| Conversion | 31.1% | 26.4% | Shots on target converted into goals |
