It's early days in the Serie C and both Manaus and Paysandu are still hoping for a flying start in order to set the tone for the season. Three points can make a big difference at this stage.
Both teams should be fairly well rested for this game, as they have had some quiet days to prepare. Hopefully this will translate into lots of action on the pitch.
Manaus form and stats
0-1-0 (win-draw-lost) are the Serie C numbers at home for Manaus so far this season. The Manaus fans aren't used to losing league-games here at Arena da Amazônia and will expect new points from this game. Manaus has played 15 games in a row here without a defeat.
Times are rough for the home team, having gone 218 minutes without scoring a league goal. Rodrigo Fumaça was the last player to find the net.
Manaus lost their last game at Jacuipense (placed 6th) after a 0-1 scoreline. Before that, Manaus played out a draw 0-0 when visiting Botafogo PB.

Paysandu form and stats
Paysandu have played one away game so far, a loss. Last season their away games stats in the Serie C were 4 victories, 0 draws and 1 defeat from 5 fixtures. The travelling fans think it's time that their travel expenses are covered with some points now, as Paysandu have lost on their last two travels.
Impressive finishing from Nicolas secured the home win 1-0 against Treze in their previous game. A home win before that, celebrating 2-0 vs Paragominas.
A new game in only four days for Paysandu, the Paraense home match versus Remo. Busy days.
0 goals so far away for Paysandu, while their defence has allowed the opposition to score 2. All from 1 league match away.
