Paysandu and Vila Nova face each other this Tuesday, the 15th, for the first leg of the Copa Verde 2022 final. The match will be at Estádio da Curuzu, in Belém (PA), starting at 6:30 pm (Brasília time).
Papaão has been running a campaign that was to be expected in the Copa Verde. The bicolor team tries to end the year with the regional title, leaving behind the failure of not accessing the Série B do Brasileiro. If he wins the cup for the third time, the Boogeyman is isolated as the biggest winner of the tournament.
Coach Márcio Fernandes used a different team against São Raimundo-AM, taking out a striker and adding another midfielder. However, against Vila Nova, the tendency is for the coach to return to the original scheme, with Danrlei in the attack reference and the team playing in the 4-3-3.
Vila Nova hopes to crown the end of the positive year with the Copa Verde title. After a disastrous first round in Serie B, the team from Goiás reacted and guaranteed their permanence in the second division. The goal now is to win the regional tournament to lift an unprecedented cup at the end of the season. In the last edition, Leão hit the post, when he was defeated by Remo in the final.
Allan Aal will assess the wear and tear of the squad after Saturday’s game against Brasiliense. On Sunday, Vila took a bus to Brasília. The trip to Belém took place yesterday, with little training time. The trend is that the lineup of the last match is repeated.
Both Teams To Score: Yes
At first, Vila Nova will face great demand from its fans. This is because the fans hope that Tigre will be champion of the 2022 Copa Verde, considering that last year the team was in 2nd place.
Despite this, based on the latest results of Paysandu, a great offensive power can be seen. Thus, both teams must score.
Total Goals (More or Less): Over 2.5
Given the fact that Paysandu plays at home and has a good offensive performance, as well as Vila Nova has also achieved a good number of finalizations, it is possible to bet on more than 2.5 goals.
Retrospect Paysandu X Vila Nova
Namely, according to the Ogol website, there are records of 16 previous games involving the two teams. Thus, both Paysandu and Vila Nova won on six occasions. Finally, there were still four draws.
