After a September marked by the emotions of the Copa do Brasil, Vasco's focus in October will be entirely on the Brazilian Championship. The calendar has reserved a sequence of five highly important games for the club. This marathon includes direct confrontations in the fight against relegation, duels against teams at the top of the table, and a classic match, in a period that will be decisive for the team's future in the competition.

Away games are the big challenge

The main challenge for Vasco in this sequence will be their performance as visitors. The team will have two games away from home. The opponents will be Fortaleza, in Ceará, and Red Bull Bragantino. Scoring points in these confrontations is seen as essential for the team to secure a safety margin on the table.

Home games are direct confrontations

If the mission is difficult away from home, the obligation to win at home is even greater. The three home games in this period are true “finals.” Vasco hosts Vitória, a direct competitor in the fight against the Z4. Additionally, the team will play a classic against Fluminense, which is also a close opponent in the standings. Finally, they face São Paulo, coached by Hernán Crespo.

Thus, doing the homework is not an option, but a necessity.
