Game week two of the Serie C season and the teams have had a few days to digest the first match. Here's the Vila Nova - Paysandu preview:
The visiting Paysandu played their last game only three days ago, a Paraense match. That game was also an away game, at Paragominas. It will be interesting to see if they are fully ready and rested for this match, and/or if some changes in the lineup is necessary.
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.
Vila Nova form and stats
Vila manager F. Guedes and his team return home after a 1-1 draw away versus Manaus (placed 3rd) in the Serie C. Before that game, the 2-0 home victory against Anapolis.
Last season, Vila Nova's league statistics were 3 wins, 3 draws and 4 losses, resulting in a 3rd position in the Goiano 1. Over these ten matches they scored 6 goals and conceded 6. Playing at home last season Vila Nova managed 3-1-1 (win-draw-lost) with 4 goals and 1 conceded.
Paysandu form and stats
It might be tough going out on the road again for Paysandu, facing their second straight away game. Especially as the previous game, ended with a defeat 2-3 versus Paragominas. Preceding that match was the 0-0 draw at home vs Santa Cruz.
A quick return to home after this game, as Paysandu are hosting Paragominas in the Paraense only four days away.
