Since the start of the Brasileirão in March, Vasco had not managed to maintain such a positive streak. Until now, the most consistent periods had been four draws against Grêmio, Del Valle (Sudamericana), Internacional, and CSA (Copa do Brasil), and a series of three games without defeat — a win over CSA, a draw against Atlético-MG, and a rout over Santos.

The team has not lost for exactly 30 days. The last defeat occurred on August 24, against Corinthians, at São Januário. Since then, there have been two wins and four draws, including both quarter-final matches of the Copa do Brasil against Botafogo. Despite the positive streak, the unbeaten run is still shorter than the first seven games of the season, played in the Campeonato Carioca, against lesser-known teams.

In addition to securing a spot in the Copa do Brasil semifinals, this run of results has helped Vasco move away from the relegation zone. The club climbed from 16th to 13th place in the Brasileirão, opening up a five-point lead over Vitória, the first team in the Z-4.

In the context of the national competition, the current run of four games without defeat is Vasco’s longest unbeaten streak in the Brasileirão so far. Until now, the club had never gone more than two consecutive rounds without losing. Among the main rivals, only Palmeiras (11), Flamengo (10), Mirassol (6), and Cruzeiro (5) have longer unbeaten runs.

Stability in results is crucial for the team, which still has more defeats (18) than wins (16) this season, both overall and in the Brasileirão (11 to 7). This positive phase also helps coach Fernando Diniz gain confidence. With the win over Bahia, Diniz reached his seventh victory in 25 games for Vasco, along with nine draws and eight losses.

The Cruzmaltino’s next match will be against Cruzeiro, on Saturday at 6:30 pm, at São Januário. It’s an opportunity for the coach to balance his record and equalize the number of wins and losses at the helm of the team.
