FC Porto boast the best defence in Europe’s top leagues | OneFootball

With only four goals conceded in the first 18 rounds of the championship, FC Porto boasts the best defense among the main European leagues.

SofaScore, in collaboration with the Portal dos Dragões website, compiled data from the 20 most relevant leagues on the old continent and concluded that Francesco Farioli’s team comfortably leads this ranking.

The Porto side records an average of just 0.22 goals conceded per game, far below the second-placed Omonia Nicosia, with 0.42. Sporting also holds a top spot: despite conceding more than double the goals FC Porto has in the championship (9), they close out the top 3 together with Aris Limassol, also from Cyprus, with 0.5 goals conceded per match.

In absolute terms, the team that comes closest to the blue and whites is Olympiakos, despite having already conceded eight goals.

As for goals scored, FC Porto, with a slightly higher average than two goals per game, is far from the top – Sporting, with 50 goals in the league (counted before the trip to Arouca), has an average of 2.78 goals and is only surpassed among the 20 main national leagues by PSV (3.11) and Bayern Munich, who boast an impressive record of 3.94 goals per game.

The German team managed by Vincent Kompany has 71 goals in 18 Bundesliga matches, 12 more than PSV (59).
