Liga Portugal corner stats 2026/27: averages by team

Updated on 10/11/2026, with the 98 games up to matchweek 11 (one game missing, postponed). This article is refreshed every Tuesday.

The Liga Portugal has the fewest corners of the six leagues we compare: 8.90 per game, against 10.57 in the Brasileirão. Even so, Benfica win 7.55 per game, more than any Brasileirão side (their leaders, São Paulo, win 6.85). In other words, only Benfica beat the Brasileirão's leaders, and Porto are 0.03 behind them (6.82 against 6.85). Casa Pia's games have the most corners in total (10.18).

The league in numbers

CornerPro data, 98 games, 07/08 to 09/11/2026.

The average is 8.90 corners per game: 0.59 fewer than in the Premier League (9.49). The typical game has 9 corners (the median), and 43% of games reach 10 or more. In other words, a 10-corner game is less common in the Liga Portugal: it tends to happen between 4 and 5 games out of 10.

In 17 of the 98 games (17%) there were 12 corners or more; the quietest game had 2.

Home teams win 59% of the corners, 5.23 per game against 3.66 for the away side. That is the highest home share of corners of the six leagues.

Corners by team

Two lists matter: who wins the most corners, and who lets the opponent win them. A team's games can be full of corners for either reason.

Who wins the most

Who concedes the most

Per game. "Total in their games" adds both teams' corners. CornerPro data, 98 games, 07/08 to 09/11/2026; teams have played 10 or 11; missing: Estoril v Marítimo (matchweek 11, postponed). All 18 teams are on the corner stats page.

What stands out

Benfica at home are a different team

Benfica win 10.40 corners per game at home and 5.17 away, a gap of 5.23 that no other team in the league comes close to. Against Gil Vicente on 13 September they won 14 corners and conceded none. In other words, a Benfica home game tends to be corner-heavy (13.00 in total, over 5 games) and an away game tends to be quiet (7.33, over 6).

Casa Pia's and Porto's games have the most corners

Casa Pia's games average 10.18 corners and Porto's 10.09, and 6 of each side's 11 games reached 10 or more. For opposite reasons: Porto win 6.82 and concede 3.27; Casa Pia win 3.82 and concede 6.36. In other words, in Porto games the corners tend to be Porto's; in Casa Pia games, the opponent's.

A game full of corners doesn't mean a team is winning them. They can almost all belong to the opponent.

Sporting go the other way

Sporting are 3rd for corners won (5.45), but their games average just 8.18 corners in total, and only 3 of 11 reached 10. The reason is at the other end: they concede 2.73 per game, and only 1.83 at home. In other words, corners in Sporting games tend to come almost entirely from one side. Braga have the quietest games in the league (7.45 per game; 3 of 11 also reached 10).

Casa Pia and Académico de Viseu concede a lot

They are the two teams with the most corners against (6.36 and 5.91), and it is away from home that they suffer most: 7.50 and 7.17 per game. In other words, when they play away, the corners tend to come mostly from the opponent.

Corners aren't goals

Vitória de Guimarães are 4th for corners won (5.36 per game) and 13th for goals scored: 11 in 11 games. And the game with the most corners this season, Vitória de Guimarães 0-0 Casa Pia on 6 September, had 21 (17-4) and no goals. In other words, winning corners is not the same as scoring.

How to use these numbers

Start with the league and finish with the live game:

1. Start with the league: at 8.90 on average, a game with 10 or more corners is not the norm in the Liga Portugal (43% of games).
2. Split for and against: Casa Pia concede 6.36 corners per game; in their games the opponent's corners weigh a lot.
3. Check home and away: Benfica win 10.40 corners per game at home and 5.17 away.
4. Confirm it live: the average tells you what usually happens; live pressure tells you whether it is happening today.

How we measured

We counted the corners in every completed Liga Portugal 2026/27 game up to 09/11/2026 (98 games, up to matchweek 11) from the CornerPro database, and checked each total against a second source (ESPN): 95 games match exactly and 3 differ by one corner. Left out until they are completed: Estoril v Marítimo (postponed, 08/11).

With 11 games per team, the sample is still small; we update this article every Tuesday with the weekend's games.
