Paysandu
- Paysandu have taken one point from their last five Série B matches, losing four and scoring just once.
- Paysandu are bottom in 20th with approximately 22 points and need a miracle to avoid relegation.
- The Papão will always try to press and play a positive style, pushing numbers forward and trying to exploit the opposition on the break. Based on the Paysandu vs Cuiaba MT prediction, it's clear that their attacking approach could be a deciding factor.
Cuiabá
- Cuiabá are unbeaten in their last five Série B games, winning two and drawing three.
- The Dourados are 6th in the table with around 42 points and are in a solid position to push for promotion.
- Guto Ferreira’s men are pragmatic, but not negative and have plenty of craft and quality to control the game, build from the back and create chances in the right areas.
Paysandu
- Diogo is Paysandu’s top goalscorer this season with five or six goals and has also converted most of the team’s penalties, so they may struggle to find a substitute if he is out.
- Reverson is the chief creator and top assist provider, providing a regular supply to the lone striker and playing the role of playmaker.
Cuiabá
- Alisson Safira is Cuiabá’s main goal threat with eight or nine goals.
- Jader is another reliable attacking option off the bench as he scored the winner against Chapecoense and Mateusinho can provide width and creativity from midfield.
