Scout report
A. Matějů is a 30-year-old defensive midfielder at Spezia, rated 34.5 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 93rd of 145 on scout potential in the Serie B. An experienced operator, he has been a regular starter this season (71.5% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 3.94 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Matějů.
Judged on this season alone, Matějů graded 27 — a strong campaign that ranks top 20% of the 5 defensive midfielders in the Serie B, on 0 goals, 1 assist and 3.939 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 45 → 27). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has held fairly steady, peaking in 2024/25.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 35, 3rd of 5 of the 5 defensive midfielders in the Serie B. At 30 Matějů is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 9 reflects that trajectory.
Past his 2024/25 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.
Output in context · Spezia finished 19th of 20 · a relegation-threatened side
3.94 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 4 clean sheets across 29 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (19th of 20) is harder than the bare numbers suggest: a back line under more pressure has to defend more often and protects fewer leads, so the volume — and any clean sheets — carry real weight. Going forward he chipped in 0 goals and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Availability. On the pitch for 71.5% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
- Defensive volume. 3.94 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
Watch points
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
With a Rating of 34.5, Matějů carries the 3rd-highest potential of the defensive midfielders in the Serie B of 5, and he is posting that for a relegation-threatened side (Spezia finished 19th of 20) — individual numbers are harder to earn on a struggling team, so his underlying level likely sits a touch above the ranking. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (3.94 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1× now → 0.7× projected in three years).
