Vasco end poor run, boost survival hopes | OneFootball

This Friday, in the Brazilian Championship, Vasco thrashed Internacional 5-1 at São Januário. With this result, the Cruzmaltino team ended a run of five consecutive defeats and drastically reduced their mathematical chances of relegation.

The Rio team ended October on a high, with four wins and only one loss, occupying the G8 and dreaming of a Libertadores spot. However, November brought the opposite scenario: defeats to São Paulo, Botafogo, Juventude, Grêmio, and Bahia made the team plummet down the table, until they found their way back to victory precisely against Internacional.

Relegation chances drop to almost zero

According to calculations by the Federal University of Minas Gerais (UFMG), Vasco has practically eliminated its chances of relegation. Now, the probability is just 0.004%, compared to the 2.1% recorded before the rout.

Vasco returns to the field on Tuesday at 7:00 p.m. (Brasília time), in a match against Mirassol valid for the 37th round of the Brasileirão, at São Januário.

Inter increases risk of relegation

The defeat at São Januário, on the other hand, increased Internacional's risk. Colorado now has a 28% chance of relegation, approaching Santos (32.9%), Vitória (54.5%), and Fortaleza (78.5%). Juventude, meanwhile, was mathematically relegated after drawing 1-1 with Bahia.
