Andrea Petagna Scout Report
When observing Andrea Petagna, the 28-year-old Italian striker for Cagliari, one characterizing feature that leaps out from his Serie A 2023-24 season data is his exceptional ability to hold onto the ball, ranking in the 96th percentile for ball retention amongst peers, a vital asset for a striker. Petagna doesn't necessarily shine in goal efficiency, where he sits in the 32nd percentile, or goal threat, placing in a significantly low 7th percentile, suggesting he’s not a player who can be relied on for frequent goal scoring. While he demonstrates reasonable chance-creation (47th percentile), his assist and goal rates per 90 minutes straddle the average, suggesting he contributes more as a playmaker than a prolific goal scorer.
However, where he truly leaves a mark is in the 'expected assists per 90 (xA)' metric, occupying a laudatory 71st percentile position. Despite the lack of promising figures in the typical striker's metrics, his strength seems to lie in his playmaking ability, making him more of a facilitating forward. Petagna's low percentages in progressive carrying and passing indicate a reliance on team support and short play rather than making dynamic strides into attacking spaces. His pass accuracy rests slightly over the midway point at 56%.
Overall, consistent with his tenure in Serie A, Petagna manifests as a robust forward, useful in hold-up play and creating scoring opportunities for his teammates. However, echoing his low xG per 90 (2nd percentile), his personal threat in front of goal needs to be amplified for him to stand among the top-tier strikers.
