Playing Style Analysis

Traditional KeeperSmall Sample

A Traditional Keeper. Statistically, he stands out as dominant in aerial duels (100% success) and commands the box with authority (0.6 punches/90). Note: this profile is based on 630 minutes of playing time this season. The three most similar players to Cleiton by playing style are:

  • Emil Audero(87% match)A Sweeper-Keeper. Statistically, he stands out as dominant in aerial duels (100% success) and reliable in goal (3.5 saves/90).
  • Jean Butez(87% match)Butez has carved out a quietly elite identity in Serie A as a goalkeeper who builds play with the conviction of a midfielder and dominates his aerial zone with uncommon authority. His 84.9% pass accuracy and 36.5 passes per 90 both land in the top 10% of Serie A keepers, meaning he isn't just tidy in possession—he's genuinely driving his team's build-up from the back. The aerial win rate sitting in the top 5% is the counterintuitive headline: raw numbers suggest an average volume of aerial duels won, but his 50% success rate against elite Serie A attackers tells a different story about physical dominance under pressure.
  • Ivan Provedel(86% match)A Sweeper-Keeper. Statistically, he stands out as dominant in aerial duels (100% success) and reliable in goal (3.7 saves/90).
