Two rounds ago, Vasco had high expectations of winning a direct place in the Libertadores. However, in the last two matches, the team was defeated 3-0 in both, moving slightly away from the G5.
Now Vasco must take advantage of the FIFA break to correct their mistakes and focus on the next rounds, crucial to guarantee at least a place in the pre-Libertadores. The next match will be particularly important, because it will be against fifth-placed Internacional. Cruzmaltina therefore needs the victory to keep their qualification hopes alive.
To the relief of Vasco fans, Vasco will play three of their five remaining matches in São Januário, with the support of the fans. These home games will be crucial, as the team has only lost once at the stadium, against Criciúma. The other defeats were at the Mané Garrincha, against Palmeiras, and at the Maracanã, against Flamengo.
Vasco has less than a 1% chance of getting a direct place in the Libertadores. Even if they win the remaining five matches, reaching 58 points, it will depend on an expansion from G5 to G6 and the stumble of San Paolo, which currently has 59 points, to secure direct classification.
