Clean Sheets In Europe

Having a clean sheet is not guaranteed victory. Rather, clean sheets help teams avoid defeat in any case. If a team constantly gets clean sheets, then the outcome of the game will either be a draw or victory (if they manage to score).

Clean sheets also give an indication of how a team can hold up over the course of a season. The more clean sheets, the better odds a team has of winning a title in Europe, although this isn’t always the case.
