Mathias Jensen is a central midfielder for Brentford who, in the 2023-2024 season, showed an impressive knack for goal efficiency. Despite his limited offensive involvement - with below-average progressive carrying, progressive passing, and chance creation - he cleverly used his opportunities, scoring well in expected assists (xA) and actual goal assists. His considerable goal accuracy, however, does not translate into frequent goal threats, suggesting a tactful but sparing approach to shooting.
Jensen has a rather meticulously conservative play style. While his ball recovery skills are roughly around average, his defensive capabilities are not strong, particularly in one-on-one situations and penalty area defence. He also lands below average in aerial duels and duel wins.
His conservative approach is further reflected in his below-average touch percentile, indicating limited possession and involvement in the overall team play. His pass accuracy isn't noteworthy either and his ball retention ability needs substantial improvement. Despite these limitations, Jensen's pragmatic and efficient approach to goal creation makes him a valuable asset in a team's offensive line-up. His age and experience further indicate potential development in his weaker areas.
