Diogo Costa has 22 clean sheets, three off an FC Porto record | OneFootball

Diogo Costa has kept 22 clean sheets for FC Porto in 2025/26 and is now just three away from matching the club’s best record of the millennium between the posts.

The Portuguese international goalkeeper is closing in on the marks set by Helton in 2012/13 and Ovchinnikov in 2000/01, both with 25 clean sheets. The statistic confirms the Dragons’ defensive consistency throughout the season and underlines the captain’s importance in the team managed by Francesco Farioli.

In addition to the individual record, Diogo Costa is expected to be fit for FC Porto’s home match against Famalicão this Saturday in a league fixture. The goalkeeper has been recovering from physical issues in his adductors, but his progress has been positive and everything points to his return to selection.

A possible appearance against Famalicão could keep alive his pursuit of a club record that has stood for more than a decade. With 22 clean sheets, Diogo Costa is already among FC Porto’s best records of this century and now has the chance to move even closer to a historic milestone.

In a season in which FC Porto have shown defensive solidity, the number 99 continues to establish himself as one of the team’s central figures, both for his performances between the posts and for the consistency he has displayed throughout the campaign.
