Clean sheets

4.47 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 7 clean sheets across 24 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (9th of 10) 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.

Strengths

  • Defensive volume. 4.47 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 44.1% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 23.5, Petrusenko carries the 16th-highest potential of the defensive midfielders in the HNL of 20, and he is posting that for a relegation-threatened side (NK Osijek finished 9th of 10) — 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 (4.47 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.2× now → 0.9× projected in three years).
