Paysandu get ready to welcome Vila Nova for something different than the ordinary league football: The Copa Verde Finals leg 1 of 2.
These teams have little in common geographically as Vila Nova 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 Paysandu nor Vila Nova 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.
