Clean sheets

3.91 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 8 clean sheets across 27 appearances. Behind a title-challenging side (2nd of 15) 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.

Strengths

  • Availability. On the pitch for 79.5% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
  • Defensive volume. 3.91 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.

Watch points

  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 36.8, Pardo carries the 36th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Liga Profesional Argentina (top 37%). Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (3.91 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.1× now → 0.8× projected in three years).
