| Measure | Ipswich | Chelsea | How to read it |
|---|---|---|---|

| Change over the last 10 | 48 | -29 | Rating gained or lost over the last ten matches |
| Opposition strength | 1532 | 1549 | Average opponent rating over the last 20 matches. Above 1500 indicates a tougher schedule. |
| Shot share | 38.3% | 55.5% | Share of all shots in a match. Above 50% means the team takes more shots than its opponents. |
| Shots on target share | 36.6% | 44.3% | The same measure, counting only shots on target |
| Finishing and saving index (PDO) | 903 | 978 | Shooting conversion plus save percentage, on a scale centred on 1000. Extreme values can reflect short-term variation. |
