Output in context · Zulte Waregem finished 5th of 18 · an upper-table side
2.83 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 6 clean sheets across 29 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (5th of 18) the side controls more games, so the defensive load is lighter — the value sits as much in composure and ball progression as in raw volume.
Strengths
- Availability. On the pitch for 70.7% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
Watch points
- Few red flags. No obvious weaknesses in the current-season profile — consistency is the next test.
Outlook
With a Rating of 50.9, Kiilerich carries the 10th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Jupiler Pro League (top 39%). Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.83 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.
