Traditional KeeperSmall Sample
A Traditional Keeper. Note: this profile is based on 630 minutes of playing time this season. The three most similar players to Marco Sportiello by playing style are:
- Marco Carnesecchi(79% match) — Carnesecchi has quietly built one of Serie A's most complete goalkeeping profiles without ever dominating a single headline statistic—which is, paradoxically, exactly what makes him interesting. His 30.9 passes per 90 sits above the league average, and a 68.6% accuracy rate suggests he's attempting ambitious distribution rather than recycling safe laterals—his passes into the final third rank above average, meaning he's actively functioning as a build-up participant rather than a reset button. The duel win rate of 91.7% lands at league average, which sounds unremarkable until you consider Atalanta's high defensive line routinely exposes keepers to one-versus-one situations most Serie A goalkeepers simply never face.
- Ivan Provedel(79% match) — A Sweeper-Keeper. Statistically, he stands out as dominant in aerial duels (100% success) and reliable in goal (3.7 saves/90).
- Arijanet Murić(78% match) — A Sweeper-Keeper. Statistically, he stands out as dominant in aerial duels (89% success) and exceptionally busy shot-stopper (4.3 saves/90).
