Jose Mourinho is a sure bet during home games. The Portuguese coach hasn't lost a league clash at home in eight years. Mourinho will coach his first league encounter at the Bernabeu on Saturday against Osasuna (20:00 CET).
The 'Special One' last lost a home game back on 23 February 2002, when Porto were defeated 3-2 by Beira Mar. Of the 136 games he has stood undefeated as a host, 111 were victories and 25 were draws. His teams have scored 295 goals and conceded only 84 in said fixtures.
Mourinho won all of Porto's 17 home games in the 2003/04 season. During that campaign and the following one, in which he coached Chelsea, his teams only conceded six strikes as hosts. In Italy, as Inter Milan's coach, Mourinho conceded no goals in seven straight home matches.
