Playing Style Analysis

A Forward. Statistically, he stands out as an elite creator (2.4 key passes/90), a prolific assist provider (0.57 assists/90), meticulous in distribution (86% pass accuracy), wins the physical battle (59% duel success) and creates high-quality scoring opportunities (0.64 big chances/90). The three most similar players to Mateo Lisica by playing style are:

  • Milot Rashica(86% match)Rashica has evolved from a purebred transitional speedster into a blue-collar creative engine who defies the typical "luxury" winger archetype. While his 72% pass accuracy suggests a lack of refinement, the data reveals a high-risk, high-reward playmaker who sits in the top 5% of the Super Lig for key passes (2.11/90) and assists (0.32/90). The counterintuitive insight here is his defensive ferocity; despite being an attacker, he ranks in the top 5% for both ground duel win rate (83.3%) and tackles won, functioning more like a defensive end in a high-pressing system than a traditional wide man.
  • Adrián Liso(83% match)A Forward. Statistically, he stands out as naturally left-footed, a regular goalscorer (0.21 goals/90) and draws fouls effectively (2.1/90). However, he loses possession under pressure (1.7 dispossessed/90).
  • Andrej Ilic(83% match)A Target Man. Statistically, he stands out as a capable chance creator (1.3 key passes/90), a constant goal threat (2.6 shots/90), a prolific assist provider (0.41 assists/90) and strong in aerial duels (6.9 aerials won/90). However, he loses possession under pressure (1.6 dispossessed/90).
