Pedro Emanuel targets end to Vasco’s 20-year away hoodoo at Grêmio | OneFootball

Pedro Emanuel targets the end of Vasco’s 20-year away hoodoo at Grêmio on Saturday, a direct scrap near the drop with three points between the sides.

As reported by Globo.com, taking something from Porto Alegre would ease the pressure on the visitors.

Vasco’s last away win over Grêmio was in May 2006, a 2-1 at the Olímpico in the fourth round, scored by Alberoni and Éder.

Since then, 15 Grêmio hosted meetings in the Brasileirão and Série B have brought 13 home wins and only two draws.

At the Arena do Grêmio, opened in late 2012, Vasco have never taken a point, losing all nine, scoring three and conceding 19.

Vasco ended an eight-match league drought by beating Cruzeiro, then lost the derby to Fluminense, leaving them three points shy of the first side outside the Z-4.

Lescano is named for the first time and could debut, while Cuiabano and Jair have recovered and travelled.

A result in Porto Alegre would end the 20-year wait and help avert the gap to safety potentially hitting six by round’s end. That would require a Vasco defeat and Mirassol beating Vitória at Estádio Maião on Sunday.
