Good omen? Only once have Porto not won the title after six straight wins | OneFootball

FC Porto achieved their sixth victory in as many matches in the Primeira Liga by defeating Rio Ave 3-0 away from home. This marks the seventh time that the blue and whites have won their first six matches of the Primeira Liga.

Only once in these situations did the Dragons not win the title at the end of the season: the 1990/91 season.

On the other five occasions when they started with six straight wins, FC Porto ended up as champions – 2017/18, 2010/11, 2007/08, 1939/40, and 1938/39.

The last time the Porto team started the competition with six consecutive victories was eight years ago, under the management of Sérgio Conceição, in the 2017/2018 season.

On Friday night, FC Porto defeated Rio Ave 3-0 in the opening match of the 6th round of the Primeira Liga. The blue and whites remain with a 100% winning record in the competition and lead alone at the top.

Pablo Rosario, Samu, and Gabri Veiga scored the goals for Porto, who kept a clean sheet – something that has happened in five of the six matches played. In the next round, FC Porto will travel to Arouca. Before that, they will make their Europa League debut against Red Bull Salzburg in Austria.

Meanwhile, Rio Ave remains winless in the Primeira Liga: they have three draws and two defeats. Next Tuesday, they will face Benfica in a match from the 1st round that had been postponed due to Benfica's participation in UEFA competitions.
