September of decisions

The sequence already begins this Wednesday (24), when Vasco hosts Bahia at São Januário. Three days later, they face Cruzeiro, also at the Historic Hill. These direct clashes could be fundamental for the team to collect points and gain confidence before facing stronger opponents.

Challenging October

The month of October brings tough matches. The Cruzmaltino faces Palmeiras away at Allianz Parque, as well as matches at São Januário against Vitória and Fluminense. Outside Rio, there will also be a match against Fortaleza at Castelão, and against Red Bull Bragantino in Bragança Paulista.

This series will require not only technical quality, but also emotional and physical balance from the squad.

November of direct confrontations

If October promises to be challenging, November will be even more decisive. Vasco will face direct clashes against São Paulo, Botafogo, Juventude, and Grêmio, all opponents fighting for similar objectives or who can directly influence Vasco’s position in the standings.

In addition, they face Bahia at Fonte Nova and Internacional at São Januário, matches that can also determine the club’s direction in the championship.

Closing in December

The final stretch will conclude in December with two games: Mirassol at home and Atlético-MG away at Arena MRV. These matches could seal Vasco’s stay in Série A or even open the door to dream of a more comfortable position in the standings.

The weight of São Januário

The home factor will be Vasco’s great asset on this journey. Vasco will still have important matches at São Januário against Cruzeiro, Vitória, Fluminense, São Paulo, Juventude, Internacional, and Mirassol.

The presence of the fans can be decisive, turning the Historic Hill into a cauldron and helping the team secure crucial points.

With 14 games to play until December, Vasco faces a tough sequence that will demand consistency, focus, and resilience. Every point earned could be vital in the fight against relegation. The mission is clear: make São Januário an ally and seek points away from home to guarantee a place in the elite of Brazilian football.
