Good omen? Porto missed the title just once after six wins | OneFootball

The FC Porto secured its sixth victory in as many matches in the I Liga by defeating Rio Ave 3-0 away from home. This is the seventh time that the blue and whites have won the first six rounds of the I Liga.

In only one of these instances did the Dragon not win the title at the end of the season: the 1990/91 season.

On the remaining five occasions when it racked up six initial victories, FC Porto ended up being the champion – 2017/18, 2010/11, 2007/08, 1939/40 and 1938/39.

The last time the Porto team started the competition with six consecutive victories was eight years ago, under the command of Sérgio Conceição, in the 2017/2018 season.

On Friday night, FC Porto defeated Rio Ave 3-0 in the opening match of the 6th round of the Primeira Liga. The blue and whites maintain a 100% victory record in the competition and lead alone.

Pablo Rosario, Samu and Gabri Veiga scored the goals for the Portistas, who kept a clean sheet – something that happened in five of the six games played. In the next round, FC Porto travels to Arouca. Before that, they will make their debut in the Europa League against Red Bull Salzburg, in Austria.

Meanwhile, Rio Ave remains winless in the I Liga: recording three draws and two losses. Next Tuesday they face Benfica, in a match of the 1st round that had been postponed due to the participation of the Encarnados in UEFA competitions.
