Vasco’s new spot in the table raises alarm bells | OneFootball

Vasco ended the 34th round of the Brazilian Championship in an even more delicate situation. After a 2-0 defeat to Grêmio and the completion of the matches this Thursday (20), the Cruz-Maltino lost another position and dropped to 13th place in the standings.

Overtaken by direct rivals

The team stalled at 42 points and saw its direct rivals add more. Grêmio, who won the head-to-head match, reached 43 points and took 12th place. Corinthians also won in this round (3-1 against São Paulo) and jumped to 45 points, overtaking Vasco.

The drop in the standings confirms the bad moment for Fernando Diniz’s team, which is coming off four consecutive defeats. The team is now in the “limbo” of the table, watching the dream of the Libertadores disappear and the lower part dangerously approach.

The distance to the relegation zone and the next challenge

With 42 points, Vasco is six points ahead of Vitória, who are in 17th place and open the relegation zone with 36 points. Santos (16th) has 37.

The need to score is urgent. The next match is against Bahia, 7th place, at the Arena Fonte Nova. The team needs to get back to winning to prevent the “free fall” from continuing in the final four rounds.
