Nabil Bentaleb Scout Report
In our scout report of the Ligue 1 player, Nabil Bentaleb, the Algerian defensive midfielder displays a commendably balanced style of play pivoting mostly in the midfield third (67.19%). Playing for Lille in the 2023-2024 season, the experience and command Bentaleb exercises in his position, at age 29, is highly noticeable, particularly with his high percentile rankings in the areas of ball recovery (74.07%) and ball retention (93.83%).
Possessing a remarkable ability to regain and keep possession of the ball offers a strong backline support for Lille, enabling them to effectively transition from defense to attack.
Elsewhere, his pass accuracy at an impressive 88.89% reinforces his reputation as a reliable linchpin in the midfield role. His eye-catching aerial duels win rate at a majestic 96.3% and overall duel win rate of 88.89% underscores his formidable defensive prowess.
However, despite the array of positives, Bentaleb's offensive metrics present a less flattering image. His chance creation (7.41%) and progressive carrying (4.94%) statistics hint towards weaknesses in his attacking contribution, while his presence in the attacking penalty area is virtually non-existent (0.36%).
A concerning statistic is Bentaleb's propensity to attract yellow cards, lying high in the 86.42 percentile, which suggests a tendency toward risky or reckless challenges. Even though his recoveries and interceptions are high, his high foul count (27.16%) presents a potential liability in critical game situations.
This player stats analysis reveals Nabil Bentaleb as a strong, defensive bulwark for Lille with commanding ball retention and recovery capabilities but has certain limitations when it comes to progressive attacking plays, chance creation, and disciplined tackles.
