Playing Style Analysis

Inside ForwardSmall Sample

However, he loses possession under pressure (1.9 dispossessed/90) and prone to committing fouls (2.9/90). The three most similar players to Lameck Banda by playing style are:

  • Mattia Zaccagni (85% match)A Forward. Statistically, he stands out as an elite creator (1.7 key passes/90), wins the physical battle (55% duel success) and draws fouls effectively (3.4/90).
  • Kamaldeen Sulemana(84% match)A Dynamic Forward. Statistically, he stands out as a regular goalscorer (0.22 goals/90), a reliable supplier (0.22 assists/90) and a dynamic dribbler (2.1/90). Note: this profile is based on 808 minutes of playing time this season.
  • Riccardo Orsolini(84% match)Orsolini is the kind of wide attacker who wins the ball like a midfielder and uses it like a forward—a combination rarer in Serie A than his modest reputation suggests. His duel win rate sits in the top 5% of attackers in the league, which means defenders simply cannot brush him off the ball in transition. He generates shots at a top-20% clip and carries the ball into dangerous areas with similar frequency, making him a genuine threat rather than a peripheral one.
