Win at Reboleira takes FC Porto to 82 points, Farioli eyes history | OneFootball

Francesco Farioli is on the verge of making history in the Portuguese league with a points record unmatched by Benfica and Sporting coaches at the same stage of the competition.

If FC Porto beat Estrela da Amadora away from home on matchday 31 of the Primeira Liga, the Porto side will move on to 82 points from 31 matches. That total will place the Italian coach above any start made, at the same point in the competition, by managers of the two Lisbon rivals.

The blue-and-white side reaches this stage after 25 wins in the first 30 rounds, staying on course for one of the club’s best league campaigns. Beyond the mark at 31 rounds, FC Porto’s all-time points record in a league season also remains within reach.

That record belongs to Sérgio Conceição, with 91 points earned in 34 rounds in the 2021/22 season. To equal or surpass that tally, Farioli’s team will have to maintain the pace in the four remaining rounds after the trip to Reboleira.

Porto’s schedule until the end includes matches against Estrela da Amadora, Alverca, AVS and Santa Clara. The possibility of reaching 82 points as early as the next round underlines the consistency shown by FC Porto throughout the season and puts Farioli in a prominent position in the historical context of the national championship.

For now, the next step is clear: beat Estrela da Amadora and keep moving closer to a record that could be etched among the greatest in the club’s and the competition’s history.
