Vitória have a split that no table can explain away. At home they have won 10 of 16 matches, drawn 2 and lost 4. Away from it, across 17 matches, they have won 0. Not once.
The latest away trip ended in a 2-0 defeat at Coritiba on Saturday 31 October, the 33th round of Campeonato Brasileiro Série A. That result is the 1L in a run of WLDDL and it keeps the club on 38 points from 33 games, 14th in the standings with 35 scored and 48 conceded, a goal difference of -13.
Six draws and eleven defeats on the road. Read that again. A side good enough to beat anyone in its own stadium has spent the away half of the season collecting single points and nothing more.
The gap between the two records is the whole story of the campaign. Home form alone would put Vitória comfortably clear of trouble; away form drags them back toward it. Thirty-eight points after thirty-three rounds is survival pace, not comfort.
Next comes a home fixture, which should be the good news. Vitória host Fluminense on Friday 6 November in round 34, and the visitors arrive fourth on 54 points. The league's top two are long gone — Flamengo on 73, Palmeiras on 70 — so the fight below them is where this club lives.
One question hangs over the run-in. Can a team that cannot win away hold its place on home results alone? The schedule says it will have to try.
