FC Porto set to challenge Famalicão’s record defensive run | OneFootball

Famalicão occupies an excellent 5th place in the Primeira Liga, with 19 points from 10 matches (five wins, four draws, and one loss). Beyond their position in the table, the numbers of the team led by Hugo Oliveira stand out.

The Minho side has matched, in just 10 rounds, the best defensive record in its history, set in 2019/20: seven games without conceding a goal.

They have conceded only four goals, a record that improves upon the nine goals conceded by the 10th round in the 2024/25 and 1978/79 seasons.

Famalicão is part of the group of teams that have conceded just four goals in the first ten rounds of the Primeira Liga, alongside Benfica and Gil Vicente. Only FC Porto has done better, conceding three goals.

At home, only Sporting managed to beat goalkeeper Lazar Carevic – through Luis Suárez and Pedro Gonçalves – in what was also the team’s only defeat.

Away from home, the Minho side played five matches and only conceded goals in the 1-1 draws against Arouca (Justin de Haas) and Casa Pia (Livolant, from the penalty spot).

The defensive solidity commanded by Hugo Oliveira will be put to the test on Sunday, when Famalicão hosts league leaders FC Porto in the 11th round of the Primeira Liga.

The Famalicão–FC Porto match is scheduled for Sunday at 18:00.
