Playing Style Analysis

Ball-WinnerDefensiveSmall Sample

A Ball-Winner. Statistically, he stands out as a capable chance creator (1.2 key passes/90), a prolific assist provider (0.26 assists/90), an aggressive ball-winner (2.9 tackles/90), wins the physical battle (55% duel success), draws fouls effectively (2.8/90) and active off the ball (3.0 press score/90), contributing to defensive transitions. However, he loses possession under pressure (1.6 dispossessed/90). The three most similar players to Mohamed Kaba by playing style are:

  • Amadou Haidara(84% match)A Metronome. Statistically, he stands out as active in the tackle (2.0 tackles/90), heavily involved in possession (60 passes/90) and central to possession (77 touches/90).
  • Maxi Oyedele(85% match)Oyedele is a ground-level disruptor masquerading as a deep-lying playmaker, currently operating as a high-efficiency defensive anchor for a struggling Ligue 1 side. While his 76.3% pass accuracy suggests technical fragility, the reality is far more nuanced; his top 5% ranking for assists per 90 reveals a high-risk, high-reward verticality that prioritizes line-breaking over safety. Defensively, he is an elite hunter on the deck, winning 64.3% of his duels—a figure that places him among the league's most effective ball-winners—supplemented by interceptions that rank in the top 10%.
  • Mahdi Camara(85% match)A Box-to-Box. Statistically, he stands out as active in the tackle (1.9 tackles/90), meticulous in distribution (86% pass accuracy) and heavily involved in play (54 touches/90).
