Zaidu continues to establish himself as a true lucky charm for FC Porto in the Portuguese League. The numbers speak for themselves: the Dragons have lost only six of the 88 league matches in which the Nigerian full-back has been used.

This season, the figure is even more striking. FC Porto have won all 13 Portuguese League matches with Zaidu on the pitch, a record that reinforces the defender’s positive impact on the collective performance of the team coached by Francesco Farioli.

Since February, Zaidu has been gaining more importance in the options available, and the team have maintained a completely victorious run in the league whenever they have been able to count on his presence. The most recent moment came in the win against Sp. Braga, a result that allowed FC Porto to strengthen their lead at the top, with the Nigerian international adding another successful match to the team’s run.

Zaidu’s statistical performance comes at a decisive stage of the season, with FC Porto closing in on their main objective in the Portuguese League. More than just a simple curiosity, this record confirms the competitive consistency of the blue and whites when the full-back is part of the team.

In a league where every detail can be decisive in the final standings, Zaidu’s presence has coincided with an FC Porto side that is particularly effective and consistent.
