Benfica Are Unbeaten in 30 Primeira Liga Games — Only Porto (2010, 2012) Have Done This in the Dataset
Benfica have completed 30 Primeira Liga fixtures in 2025/26 without a single defeat (21W, 9D, 0L), making them only the second club in the entire dataset to reach the 30-game mark in Portugal's top flight without losing — a feat previously achieved only by FC Porto in 2010 and 2012. The extraordinary irony is that Benfica's unbeaten run is not enough to top the table: Porto lead by 7 points (79 vs 72) having lost just once themselves.
