Only one European side matches FC Porto for goals conceded | OneFootball

“Attack wins games, defense wins championships.” The old football saying could very well serve as the motto for Francesco Farioli, FC Porto’s coach. The team on course to win the title has scored fewer goals than Sporting and Benfica, but clearly stands out defensively.

FC Porto have conceded just 15 goals, which amounts to an average of 0.42 goals every 90 minutes played. Among Europe’s top divisions, only one team can match that record.

According to data from the Football Observatory (CIES), only Olympiakos of Greece post such low numbers when it comes to goals conceded — 13, with an average also set at 0.42 per 90 minutes. The team managed by Mendilibar is in the championship round.
