Paysandu form and stats

Only two Serie C home games for Paysandu so far, yet both highs and lows with 1 win, 1 draw and 0 defeat. With three draws from their last three games overall it has been a case of neither great nor terrible for Paysandu.

The spoils were shared in Paysandu's previous game, also at home. Visiting Ypiranga Erechim (placed 5th) travelled back with a draw after a 1-1 scoreline. It's uncommon, but the exact score line 1-1 has repeated itself three league games in a row.

Preceding that game was the away draw at Mirassol that finished 1-1.

The bookmakers consider this a fairly even contest. One could say only the home advantage separates the teams. It could be relevant to look at how Paysandu have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites). Our database has found nine matches with the results: Won three, drawn three and lost three.

Paysandu has scored 6 goals so far and conceded 1 goal from 2 home games. These are numbers from the league only.
