Clean Sheets Stats by Teams — Rankings 2026/27
Find the teams that consistently keep the back door shut — full match, halves, and head-to-head splits.
How clean sheet stats isolate defensive performance
A clean sheet is a match where a team conceded zero goals. Clean sheet percentage ranks the strongest defensive sides — teams most likely to shut out opponents. Clean sheets isolate defensive performance specifically (unlike low-goal matches which include both teams' contributions), which is why they correlate strongly with goalkeeper and back-line quality.

About this ranking
This clean sheet team ranking surfaces sides with the strongest defensive structures — teams that shut out opponents most often across the 2026/27 season. Sort by season clean sheet percentage or recent form, split by home/away (home defenses are typically stronger), and use the Hits column to assess sample size. Strong defensive teams correlate with low BTTS rates — they don't just defend, they actively suffocate opposing attacks. A natural starting point for defensive solidity analysis and shutout pattern study. Pair with our BTTS team ranking — they are inverse signals.
Frequently asked questions
What counts as a clean sheet and how are teams ranked?
A clean sheet means a team conceded zero goals in a match. Our clean sheet percentage ranks the best defensive teams — those most likely to shut out opponents — across 1,200+ leagues with home/away splits and recent form context.
How are clean sheet stats related to BTTS?
Clean sheet rate and BTTS are inversely related. A team with 60% clean sheets will have at most 40% BTTS (the matches where they conceded). We show both columns side by side so you can assess defensive solidity vs attacking balance — together they describe a team's overall scoring profile.
How are clean sheets different from low-goal matches?
A clean sheet is a strict shutout (zero goals conceded) regardless of how many a team scored. A low-goal match (Under 1.5/2.5) includes both teams' contributions. Clean sheet stats isolate defensive performance specifically, which is why they correlate strongly with goalkeeper and back-line quality.
