"Starting with the hosts, putting in another downbeat performance last time out as they slumped to a routine 2-0 defeat at the hands of CRB, Paysandu are enduring what has been a nightmare extended rut. Despite signing off June in the midst of a three-match winning run, Claudinei Oliveira's side have come crashing back down to earth in a woeful fashion. Freefalling down the Serie B standings, the Wolfs have now lost all of their previous four consecutive second-tier appearances."
"With their worrying blip underlined by another 2-0 defeat against Chapecoense on August 17th, it should also be highlighted that Paysandu have also shown some extended issues in the final third. Including a toothless 1-0 defeat against Vila Nova last month, Paysandu have recorded just a single strike on their four-match losing rut. Likewise, Friday's hosts have failed to register more than a sole strike in over 360 minutes of Serie B action."
"As for the visitors, while Volta Redonda might have only made their famous Serie B return this season, the Steel Squadron have an almighty battle on their hands in the race to keep hold of their second-tier status over the final couple of months. Last seen falling to their own 2-0 defeat at home against athletic Club, Rogerio Correa's side are sat rock-bottom of the table and are pencilled in as a leading relegation contender in 2025."
Paysandu arrive on a four-match losing run, having fallen 2-0 to CRB and 2-0 to Chapecoense, reversing a brief winning spell in June. Claudinei Oliveira's side have struggled in the final third, scoring only once across the losing run and failing to register more than a single strike in over 360 minutes of Serie B action. Volta Redonda sit rock-bottom after a 2-0 home defeat to athletic Club and a 1-0 loss to CRB, collecting just two points from five games. The Steel Squadron remain seven points adrift of safety and have produced multiple scoreless draws, underlining their attacking woes and relegation risk.
