Zimbabwe are averaging 5.8 tackles per game in 2025, with matches involving them seeing 10.5 total tackles on average. That puts them 3rd of 11 for team tackles per match in their primary competition.
Marvelous Nakamba leads with 12 tackles across 6 qualifying appearances (2/g, 67% hit rate). The tackle-rate table on this page lists every Zimbabwe player with their tackles per qualifying appearance (≥20 minutes), six-game form mask and current Bet365 1+ tackles price for the next fixture.
Zimbabwe are averaging 5.8 tackles per game over 10 games and concede 4.7 for a match-total of 10.5. That ranks 3rd of 11 for team tackles in their primary competition. They average 58 tackles per take-on attempted against them (opposition averages 1 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%). Higher = more tackle volume expected in this fixture.
All numbers come from match-level Sportmonks data ingested into Statz — 10 Zimbabwe fixtures in the active window for 2025. 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.
