I. Matanović

Matanović's 2026/27 season, read from the numbers

In 2026/27, I. Matanović was used in rotation for SC Freiburg in the Bundesliga: 4 appearances and 324 minutes, averaging 81 minutes per outing. He grades out best for match rating — 164th of 702 attackers and inside the top 23%.

Per 90 minutes that is 0.8 goals per 90, 3.1 shots per 90 and 82% of his shots on target — the rate profile behind Matanović's totals. The profile is lopsided rather than complete: measured against attackers, Matanović sits in the top 6% for goalscoring but only the top 44% for shot conversion.

Set against Matanović's own record, 2026/27 reads differently: he has managed 11 in a season before, so 6 is well short of his own mark; his average match rating has risen from 6.81 to 7.51 since 2025/26. Our records cover 4 seasons of Matanović's career, 2023/24 to 2026/27, across 3 clubs — Karlsruher SC, Eintracht Frankfurt, SC Freiburg. In that time he has played 139 matches across 5 competitions, 6,548 minutes in all.

His best return on our records was 15 goals in 2025/26, from 50 appearances. He is 7 appearances into the current one. Matanović has 24 appearances in UEFA Europa League and UEFA Europa Conference League on our records, and the gap is real: he is roughly 2.0 times more productive domestically, 0.57 per 90 domestically against 0.29 in Europe.

He has reached 15 goals in a season once, in 2025/26. Away from his club, Matanović has 10 appearances for Croatia on our records — across World Cup - Qualification Europe, UEFA Nations League and World Cup.

On our positional score Matanović rates 43 out of 100, 48th of 126 qualified players — inside the top 39%. Relative to what each component is worth, his strongest is shot conversion.

How these scores are built, and the minutes and rating floors a player must clear to appear on our boards, are set out in our methodology.
