The unbeaten teams 2015-16

Out of the forty-two leagues in Europe currently in action there are only six sides left that can boast to being unbeaten so far this season. Of the six sides left unbeaten only one is not top of it's respective league.

HNK Rijeka: Croatia
Eleven wins and ten draws leaves Rijeka in second place behind Dinamo Zagreb. The coastal side are chasing a first ever Croatian league title. Last season they pushed Dinamo till the final month of the season and will be hoping to go one better and end Dinamo's current streak of titles which stands at ten. The league returns from its winter hiatus on February 12th with Rijeka hosting Dinamo a week later.

Paris Saint-Germain: France
PSG are unbeaten and are now a crazy twenty-four points clear of Monaco. In fact PSG's unbeaten run goes back to last season when they lost 3-2 away at Bordeaux. The Parisians have dropped only six points out of sixty-nine on offer so far this season which shows just how consistent and dominant they have been this season.

Lincoln Red Imps: Gibraltar
Even before Gibraltar's acceptance into UEFA, Lincoln were the dominant force in Gibraltarian football. Since UEFA acceptance in 2013, Lincoln have won the two league titles on offer. This season they have been unstoppable. In seventeen games they have dropped just two points, scored eighty goals and conceded just four goals. Such is their dominance that two weeks ago, Lincoln dished bottom side Angels a 13-0 drubbing.

Olympiacos: Greece
They have only dropped two points all season and haven't actually lost a domestic league game since last May when they went down 3-1 away at PAS Giannina. In the current campaign they have been so dominant that they find themselves sixteen points clear of nearest challengers AEK Athens. As with a previous blog post I have done it's in Europe where Olympiacos haven't been able to step up.

F91 Dudelange: Luxembourg
The league took it's winter break at the end of November after thirteen rounds and F91 Dudelange haven't tasted defeat yet this season. Despite being unbeaten they are only two points ahead of Fola Esch, who are the defending champions. The league resumes on February 20th and F91 go to lowly Victoria Rosport in a bid to extend their unbeaten run.

Crvena Zvezda: Serbia
The most dominant team this season anywhere in Europe. Crvena Zvezda are twenty-five points clear of their nearest challengers. They have dropped only four points all season and have been free scoring with sixty-five goals scored. The league returns this month from the two month long winter break and it's pretty much a procession between now and May in terms of the destination of the title.
