On long-term scout potential he's rated 9, ranking 232nd of 235 in the Allsvenskan. A seasoned veteran, he has been a rotation option (46.1% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 3.16 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Pettersson.

Judged on this season alone, Pettersson graded 12 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 35th of 50 of the 50 centre-backs in the Allsvenskan, on 2 clean sheets and 3.163 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 38 → 12). Over the 7 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2025/26.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 9, 50th of 50 of the 50 centre-backs in the Allsvenskan. At 36 Pettersson is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 0.6 reflects that trajectory.

Clean sheets

3.16 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 2 clean sheets across 16 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (12th of 16) 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 0 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 46.1% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Age curve. At 36, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 9, Pettersson carries the 50th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Allsvenskan of 50, and he is posting that for a lower-table side (Mjallby AIF finished 12th of 16) — 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 (3.16 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.6× and falling).
