Scout report
H. Boudaoui is a 26-year-old central midfielder at Nice, rated 60.7 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 58th of 123 on scout potential in the Ligue 1. In his prime years, he has been a rotation option this season (52.6% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 2.8 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Boudaoui.
Judged on this season alone, Boudaoui graded 26 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 9th of 21 of the 21 central midfielders in the Ligue 1, on 1 goal, 2 assists and 2.798 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 49 → 26). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2024/25.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 61, top 34% of the 21 central midfielders in the Ligue 1. At 26 Boudaoui is in his prime years, and a market index of 35.4 reflects that trajectory.
Below his 2024/25 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.
Output in context · Nice finished 16th of 18 · a relegation-threatened side
2.8 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 4 clean sheets across 26 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (16th of 18) 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 1 goal and 2 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.16 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 52.6% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
Outlook
With a Rating of 60.7, Boudaoui carries the 7th-highest potential of the central midfielders in the Ligue 1 (top 34%), and he is posting that for a relegation-threatened side (Nice finished 16th of 18) — 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 moderate defensive volume (2.8 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). In the prime window — at or near peak market value, so the next two seasons are the ones to cash in or build around. Doing it for a lesser side, he profiles as a value buy for a club higher up the table.
