Vasco da Gama
Despite all its fame and popularity, Vasco has spent an increasing amount of time in the second division of the country in recent years. Vasco once again ascended to Serie A in the previous year, in 2022.
In this season, the team is fighting for survival and currently finds itself in the relegation zone, occupying the 17th place in the Serie A standings.
Fortaleza
The club, from 2010 to 2017, consistently played in the third division of the country. Although not on the first attempt, Fortaleza managed to establish itself in Serie A.
In the previous season, the team even secured an eighth-place finish. Consequently, they earned the opportunity to participate in the Copa Sudamericana, where they reached the final. At the end of October, Fortaleza will battle Ecuador's LDU Quito for the trophy.
In the championship, things are going well too. The team is still contending for a medal, although they currently occupy the sixth position.
