Paysandu desperately need points on Sunday, Jul 12 at 9:00 PM in the Serie C – 1st Stage. With the team sitting in the bottom three, this is quickly becoming a must-win situation.

Paysandu come into this fixture struggling badly (1W 4L in last 5). Guarani, meanwhile, arrive in mixed form (2W 2D 1L) — actually the better-performing side in recent weeks.

History strongly favours Paysandu here — they've won 6 of 10 previous meetings against Guarani, with 2 draws. Their last encounter ended in Paysandu won 2–1.

Verdict: Guarani's quality should tell even on the road. Paysandu will push, but the visitors have too much class. Guarani to win.
