Vasco risk slipping two spots, edging closer to Z4, see table | OneFootball

Vasco ended Sunday (23) with the certainty that the situation in the Brasileirão is critical. After the 1-0 defeat to Bahia, Fernando Diniz's team remained in 13th place, with 42 points. However, the nightmare could get worse this Monday.

The risk of dropping to 15th place

The Gigante da Colina could still be overtaken by two direct rivals in the remainder of the 35th round. Ceará (14th, 42 points) faces Mirassol today (24). If they earn any points, the team from Ceará will overtake Vasco.

The other threat comes from the South. Internacional (15th, 40 points) plays against Santos. A win for the Colorado will push the Cruz-Maltino down to 15th place, leaving the club dangerously close to the relegation zone.

The distance to the Z4

Currently, the gap between Vasco and Santos (the first team in the Z4, with 37 points) is five points. If Peixe beats Inter today, that advantage drops to just two points, turning the final three rounds into a battle for survival.

Vasco fans will have to root against their direct rivals this Monday so the situation doesn't become desperate ahead of the direct clash against Internacional in the next round.
