Fluminense get ready to welcome Paysandu for something different than the ordinary league football: The Copa do Brasil 3rd Round leg 1 of 2.
It's quite the trip for Paysandu when visiting Fluminense as the cities are 3100 kilometers apart.
It’s busy days for these teams as both were in action only a few days ago. There’s no rest for the wicked, or in this case; no rest for Fluminense and Paysandu.
Fluminense form and stats
Last season their Copa do Brasil adventure ended in the semi-finals.The Fluminense followers enjoyed the previous fixture, watching their team host Flamengo and win 4-1.
Before that one, a nice away victory at Sporting Cristal. A Copa Libertadores game.
There's a new game coming up fairly quickly for Fluminense as they are travelling to their away game against América Mineiro in the Serie A. That match is three days after this one.
Paysandu form and stats
They also participated in Copa do Brasil last season. This ended in the 2nd round.It's the second away game in a row for Paysandu, but there's smiles all around after the 1-0 victory versus Remo last time out.
Before that, the Copa Verde win away at Remo (after extra-time, 2-4 on penalties). Nobody expects Paysandu to collect anything from a game like this. The team has been David versus Goliath 4 times before, with the overall statistics of won 2, draw 1 and lost 1. When defeated, 1 match have been lost by two or more goals.
The schedule is very tough for Paysandu now as they have to travel again shortly after this match. A Paraense game at Tuna Luso is waiting in only four days.
