Valencia CF: solid in defense and efficient in attack

The LaLiga team that requires the most shots to concede a goal and ranks third in possession retained after winning contested aerial duels

Valencia CF stands out among the best clubs at the start of this season according to the latest data from LALIGA BEYOND STATS – a platform specialized in statistical analysis of players and clubs in Spain’s top competition.

The team led by Carlos Corberán tops the ranking when it comes to stopping opponents’ offensive efficiency (shots per goal). In other words, it is the team that requires the most shots (20) to concede a goal. In addition, the team has managed to block or save 24 of the 32 shots made by opponents.

Another stat that reinforces the defensive solidity and balance with the offensive side is that Valencia CF ranks third (after RC Celta de Vigo and Real Madrid CF) in the percentage of possession retained after winning an aerial duel.
