The last victory at the stadium in the competition happened on May 17, when the team defeated Fortaleza 3-0, with goals from Nuno Moreira and Vegetti (twice), still at the beginning of Fernando Diniz's work. Since then, there have been five matches without a win as the host, with three draws and two losses.

Despite this, Vasco managed to win at the stadium in other competitions during this period: against Melgar in the South American Cup and against CSA in the Brazil Cup. In the Brasileirão, however, the drought will increase: the next game at São Januário will only be next Wednesday, against Bahia, in a postponed match of the 16th round.

The longest drought at São Januário in the tournament was recorded in 2005, when the club went 151 days without winning. That year, however, most of the home games were played at Maracanã, seeking higher ticket revenue.

Completing the list of the longest negative streaks at São Januário:

The match against Bahia could be decisive in ending the current streak and easing the pressure on the team at their own home.
