Vasco match tragic years' record, flirting with unwanted milestone | OneFootball

Vasco has reached a milestone that brings terrible memories to its fans. With the recent streak of poor results, the team has reached 17 defeats in the current Brazilian Championship. This number is exactly the same as the campaigns of 2015 and 2020, years in which the club ended up relegated.

The shadow of the 2008 record

The situation could get even worse. The negative record of the Gigante da Colina in a single edition of the round-robin format (38 rounds) is from 2008. On that occasion, the team lost 20 times and was relegated for the first time.

If Vasco is defeated in at least one more of the three remaining games, this will be the second campaign with the most defeats in the club's history in the current format. The team is fighting not to repeat the mistakes of the recent past.

Vasco's final games to avoid chaos

To escape this grim statistic, Vasco needs to score points. The next challenge is against Internacional on Friday (28), at São Januário. Then, the team hosts Mirassol and finishes against Atlético-MG away.

In 2023, the club also reached 17 defeats but escaped in the last round. The mission now is to ensure permanence as soon as possible so that the number of setbacks does not increase and does not decree a new relegation.
