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 corresponds to an average of 0.42 goals per 90 minutes played. Among Europe’s top divisions, that record is matched by only one team.

According to data from the Football Observatory (CIES), only Olympiakos of Greece posts figures that low in terms of goals conceded — 13, with an average also set at 0.42 per 90 minutes. The team managed by Mendilibar is in the championship phase.
