A trophy cabinet can never have too much silverware and both Goiás and Paysandu know what's at stake in this second leg of the Copa Verde Finals clash.
These teams have little in common geographically as Paysandu have to travel 1900 kilometers to reach their opponents. The trip home will be especially long if the match ends in defeat.
It's no vacation for neither Goiás nor Paysandu as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.
Goiás form and stats
Goiás was eliminated in the round of 16 last season in the Copa Verde.Goiás must be fairly happy with 6 points from their first three Serie A games here at Estádio de Hailé Pinheiro.
Goiás faced defeat in their previous match, away at Sao Paulo (1-2). The defeat against Sao Paulo was especially painful as the deciding goal against was scored one minutes into stoppage time (by David ).
Ahead of that match, a home victory hosting Universitario in the Copa Sudamericana.
Another home game is coming up fairly shortly for the hosts, as Cuiaba are coming to town in four days.
Goiás have proved capable of finding the net in their games here at Estádio de Hailé Pinheiro with 5 goals in 3 league matches. Goals are flowing in at the wrong end for Goiás with 7 goals conceded in these matches.
Paysandu form and stats

There might be some fixture complaints from Paysandu as they are again playing away from home after losing on the road in their previous match, 0-3 against Volta Redonda.
A home win before that, celebrating 2-0 vs Cameta.After this away game Paysandu return home for a Serie C game against EC Sao Jose. That game is only four sleeps after this.
The Paysandu defense is as useful as an ashtray on a motorcycle, having conceded 10 goals in their away games.
Head 2 Head
The 5 most recent fixtures involving these two teams have all ended as Goiás wins. Will history repeat itself?The squads have played each other already this season, with the result Paysandu - Goiás 0-2 written in the official records.
