Vasco hit bottom in Brasileirão, alarm bells ring 🚨 upcoming fixtures | OneFootball

Vasco ended Thursday (26th) in the 20th and last position of the Brazilian Championship after a 2-1 defeat to Santos at Vila Belmiro. The negative result leaves the club with only one point from four rounds, consolidating a performance of just 8.3% in this edition.

The crisis of results is deep and dates back to last season, with the club recording ten defeats and only one victory in the last 12 games of the national tournament. This alarming record results in a performance of only 11% during this period, highlighting the team's difficulty in earning points in Serie A.

Statistics and the paradox of ball possession

One of the most striking points in the statistical analysis is the dominance of ball possession, which averages 60.3% per match. However, this control does not translate into offensive efficiency, as Vasco needs 28.3 shots to score a goal, while opponents need only 6 shots to score against Cruz-Maltino.

The team also shows difficulty in decisive moments, having converted only 3 of the 12 great chances created so far. On the other hand, the defense appears vulnerable, conceding six goals in just four rounds, which puts the defensive system under constant pressure.

Challenges and decisive sequence

The next step for Vasco is the semifinal of the Campeonato Carioca against Fluminense, where the team seeks to overturn the disadvantage to reach the final. Right after, the club will face a tough sequence in the Brasileirão against teams like Palmeiras, Cruzeiro, and Grêmio, which will require an immediate reaction from the squad under interim management.

The board is intensifying the search for a new coach while the team languishes at the bottom and tries to regain the confidence of its key players. The urgency for results is at its peak to prevent the club from falling behind direct competitors and to start a recovery path in the 2026 season.
