Strength and dominance

Recent results need context. These measures account for opponent quality and the balance of play.
| Measure | Derby | Bristol City | How to read it |
|---|---|---|---|
| Strength (Elo) | 1461 | 1490 | The league average is 1500. A higher rating indicates stronger results after adjusting for opponent quality. |
| Change over the last 10 | -77 | 18 | Rating gained or lost over the last ten matches |
| Opposition strength | 1500 | 1523 | Average opponent rating over the last 20 matches. Above 1500 indicates a tougher schedule. |
| Shot share | 45.8% | 42.2% | Share of all shots in a match. Above 50% means the team takes more shots than its opponents. |
| Shots on target share | 41.7% | 46.6% | The same measure, counting only shots on target |
| Finishing and saving index (PDO) | 1045 | 1013 | Shooting conversion plus save percentage, on a scale centred on 1000. Extreme values can reflect short-term variation. |
| Conversion | 31.7% | 32.3% | Shots on target converted into goals |
| Save percentage | 72.7% | 69.0% | Opponents' shots on target that are saved |
