Output in context · RB Leipzig finished 3rd of 18 · an upper-table side
3.55 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 9 clean sheets across 32 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (3rd 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. Going forward he chipped in 2 goals and 3 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Availability. On the pitch for 87.1% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
- Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.18 goal involvements per 90, useful for a full-back.
- Defensive volume. 3.55 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
- Pedigree. Performing in a top-tier setting (team strength 89.9/100).
Watch points
- Few red flags. No obvious weaknesses in the current-season profile — consistency is the next test.
Outlook
With a Rating of 65.2, Baku carries the 31st-highest potential of the full-backs in the Bundesliga of 55. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (3.55 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.2× now → 0.9× projected in three years).
