Five games, five wins, fifteen points. It is the cleanest return in football and right now eight clubs across four continents worth of competitions can claim it. The list spans Allsvenskan title chasers, a Championship promotion hopeful, a Carabao Cup holder finding its rhythm, and a pair of Belgian rivals both refusing to blink.
Domestic pace-setters
IFK Göteborg have won their last five in Allsvenskan, the kind of run that reshapes a league table. Over in Brazil, Athletico have matched it stride for stride in Serie B, five wins from five lifting them clear of the chasing pack. In England, Leeds United have strung together the same run in the Championship, the sort of form that turns a promotion push into genuine momentum.
Cup form that counts
Manchester City are the headline name here. Their five straight wins have come in the Carabao Cup, a competition where City have made winning feel routine, and the perfect record is a reminder that depth and quality travel well across formats.
The Belgian pair
Few things in the Challenger Pro League are as eye-catching as two clubs riding identical streaks at once. FCV Dender and K. Beerschot V.A. have both won five in a row, a coincidence that will not last but for now has both clubs breathing down the division's leaders.
Friendly form
Coleraine FC and Excelsior round out the list, each unbeaten and winning across five Club Friendlies. It is a different context to the rest, no points on a ladder, no table to climb, but a run of five straight wins is a run of five straight wins wherever it happens, and both sides will take the confidence into whatever comes next.
Eight teams, five different competitions, one shared number: fifteen points from five. Streaks like this rarely survive contact with a tough fixture list, but for now, these are the sides nobody wants to play.
