Porto's incredible defensive record in the league so far

Porto are currently top of the league, with 65 points from 24 league games. The Dragons have a four-point advantage over second-place Sporting CP, as Porto look to lift their first league title since the 2021-22 season.

Out of Porto's 24 league games, they have won 21. They have drawn two and lost one. One standout part of their season so far is that they have conceded only eight league goals. The side has kept 17 clean sheets across their 24 games this campaign, highlighting their extremely strong defence.

Porto have won all of their last three games in the league, keeping two clean sheets in those matches. Their most recent game was a 3-1 home win against Arouca, and they face Sporting in their next match, which is in the Taca de Portugal.

When Porto return to league action, they face Benfica away from home. Jose Mourinho's team are yet to lose in the league, and find themselves third in the table.

The midweek cup clash for Porto against Sporting will be a huge test for both sides. Porto have the best defence in Portugal, while Sporting have the best attack in the country. The Taça de Portugal semi-finals are two-legged, meaning a loss for either side during the week would not be too detrimental.

In the competition this season, Porto have played four games, keeping three clean sheets. In the last round, they defeated Benfica 1-0.
