Strength and dominance

Recent results need context. These measures account for opponent quality and the balance of play.
| Measure | Crystal Palace | Arsenal | How to read it |
|---|---|---|---|
| Strength (Elo) | 1463 | 1694 | The league average is 1500. A higher rating indicates stronger results after adjusting for opponent quality. |
| Change over the last 10 | -42 | -26 | Rating gained or lost over the last ten matches |
| Opposition strength | 1531 | 1523 | Average opponent rating over the last 20 matches. Above 1500 indicates a tougher schedule. |
| Shot share | 45.8% | 61.5% | Share of all shots in a match. Above 50% means the team takes more shots than its opponents. |
| Shots on target share | 41.0% | 64.1% | The same measure, counting only shots on target |
| Finishing and saving index (PDO) | 986 | 1139 | Shooting conversion plus save percentage, on a scale centred on 1000. Extreme values can reflect short-term variation. |
| Conversion | 33.9% | 37.8% | Shots on target converted into goals |
| Save percentage | 64.7% | 76.1% | Opponents' shots on target that are saved |
