Maximiliano Araújo has already shown an impressive scoring touch for a defender in the 2026/27 Primeira Liga season. In just two appearances totalling 138 minutes, he has netted one goal, giving him a goals-per-90 of 0.65 compared with the baseline of 0.06 for his position. His single shot, which was on target, yields a conversion rate of 100% and a shots-per-90 of 0.65 versus the baseline 0.5. While his defensive statistics - tackles per 90 of 1.3 against a baseline of 1.65 and interceptions per 90 of 1.3 against a baseline of 1.35 - are solid, it is his goal-scoring that sets him apart. With an average match rating of 6.95, Araújo’s offensive output is a clear outlier for a defender, making his season so far notable for its striking goal contribution.
