Scout report
H. Boudaoui is a 26-year-old central midfielder at Nice, rated 63.8 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 190th of 337 on scout potential in the Ligue 1. In his prime years, he has been a regular starter this season (67.7% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 2.8 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Boudaoui.
Judged on this season alone, Boudaoui graded 34 — a solid campaign that ranks top 39% of the 44 central midfielders in the Ligue 1, on 1 goal, 2 assists and 2.798 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 49 → 34). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has held fairly steady, peaking in 2024/25.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 64, 21st of 44 of the 44 central midfielders in the Ligue 1. At 26 Boudaoui is in his prime years, and a market index of 37.2 reflects that trajectory.
Read the appearance count in context: Boudaoui missed 8 games through injury (injury, inactive, international duty) out of roughly 36 this season. The 26 he did play is a solid return on the time he was fit, and his ratings are weighted toward those games rather than the ones he sat out injured.
Below his 2024/25 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.
Output in context · Nice finished 16th of 18 · a relegation-threatened side
2.8 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 4 clean sheets across 26 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (16th of 18) 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 2 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Availability. On the pitch for 67.7% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
- Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.16 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.
Watch points
- Few red flags. No obvious weaknesses in the current-season profile — consistency is the next test.
Outlook
With a Rating of 63.8, Boudaoui carries the 21st-highest potential of the central midfielders in the Ligue 1 of 44, and he is posting that for a relegation-threatened side (Nice finished 16th of 18) — 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 (2.8 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). In the prime window — at or near peak market value, so the next two seasons are the ones to cash in or build around. Doing it for a lesser side, he profiles as a value buy for a club higher up the table.
