| Measure | Exeter | Cheltenham | How to read it |
|---|---|---|---|

| Change over the last 10 | -135 | 64 | Rating gained or lost over the last ten matches |
| Opposition strength | 1495 | 1496 | Average opponent rating over the last 20 matches. Above 1500 indicates a tougher schedule. |
| Shot share | 55.7% | 43.3% | Share of all shots in a match. Above 50% means the team takes more shots than its opponents. |
| Shots on target share | 56.3% | 45.4% | The same measure, counting only shots on target |
| Finishing and saving index (PDO) | 1061 | 1017 | Shooting conversion plus save percentage, on a scale centred on 1000. Extreme values can reflect short-term variation. |
