USA are averaging 16.1 tackles per game over 10 games and concede 18.8 for a match-total of 34.9. They average 20.13 tackles per take-on attempted against them (opposition averages 1.33 take-ons/g).
Tackle matchup blends the defender's tackles per game (50%), the opposition attacker's take-on rate (30%), and the defender's underlying tackle propensity (20%). For the upcoming fixture against Peru, the page's matchup read uses each opposition forward's last-season dribble rate to weight USA's defenders.
All numbers come from match-level Sportmonks data ingested into Statz — 10 USA fixtures in the active window for 2026. Player odds come from Bet365 player markets when priced. Pre-match lineups are predicted lineups until team news lands, then confirmed.
A player must have featured for at least 20 minutes in a fixture for that match to count toward their tackle rate and form. Cameo appearances are excluded so the rates aren't diluted by 5-minute substitutions.
We count attempted tackles per Sportmonks' definition. That matches what Bet365 settles 1+ tackles markets on, so the page's hit-rate and the bookmaker's pricing are aligned.
