Summary

Marcelo Costa has already shown a defensive workload that exceeds the Veikkausliiga baseline for his position. In just four appearances, he has logged 279 minutes and recorded three tackles and eight interceptions, translating to 0.97 tackles per 90 minutes and 8.13 interceptions per 90 minutes, both of which are well below the defensive expectations of 1.65 tackles per 90. While his offensive output remains nil - with zero goals, assists, shots, shots on target, and key passes - his defensive contribution is the focus of the season so far. Costa’s average match rating of 6.53 reflects his solid presence in the back line, and his 0.32 successful dribbles per 90 minutes, though slightly below the 0.36 baseline, still demonstrates his willingness to engage in forward play. Overall, Marcelo Costa’s defensive volume this season is a clear indicator of his work off the ball.

Marcelo Costa has played 279 minutes across 4 appearances in Veikkausliiga, at 0.00 goals per 90 against a positional baseline of 0.06 and averaging 6.53 a match.

Per-player totals for 2026/27 from API-Football match stats, across 21 players. Click any column to sort. Goals/shot is conversion - goals divided by shots taken. Rating is API-Football's own 0-10 composite for each appearance, averaged here; it is their proprietary score, so treat it as a summary rather than an input. A blank from the provider means the player recorded none of that event, so it counts as zero. Form is 0-10: each appearance is scored as a per-90 composite of the stats that matter for that position, then the last 5 are compared with the player's own season baseline. 5 is their normal, green a hot run, red a cold one – it measures a player against themselves, not against the squad. Under 6 appearances shows a dash rather than a number off too small a sample.
