FC Porto to put Famalicão’s record defence to the test | OneFootball

Famalicão occupies an excellent 5th place in the Primeira Liga, with 19 points in 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 team matched, in just 10 matches, the best defensive record in their history, recorded in 2019/20: seven games without conceding a goal.

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

Famalicão is part of the group of teams that conceded only four goals in the first ten matchdays of the I Liga, along with Benfica and Gil Vicente. Only FC Porto did better, conceding three goals.

In home games, 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 team played five matches and only conceded goals in the 1-1 draws against Arouca (Justin de Haas) and Casa Pia (Livolant, from a penalty).

The defensive solidity commanded by Hugo Oliveira will be put to the test on Sunday, when Famalicão hosts the leader FC Porto, in the 11th matchday of the I Liga.

The Famalicão–FC Porto match is scheduled for Sunday at 6:00 PM.
