Orel Mangala, a 25-year-old Belgian Central Midfielder playing for Lyon in the Premier League, excels particularly in ball retention and penalty area defending. The player's ability to effectively maintain control of the ball shines as a significant strength. Similarly, his excellent defensive work, especially in the penalty area, illustrates his ability to reduce scoring chances for opponents and protect his team's goal. Despite these attributes, Mangala appears to struggle in areas such as chance creation, progressive passing, and touches, suggesting limited influence in the attack buildup. Notably, although his goal efficiency and threat are decent, his assist capability, pass accuracy, and expected assists (xA) aren't impressive, pointing to potential areas for improvement in creativity and precision. His aerial duel success shows a powerful physical presence, which could be a crucial advantage in certain game situations. However, his overall duel win percentage leans towards the average which indicates the need for improvement in his man-to-man confrontations.
