Last year, the team finished the C Series in the semifinal, being defeated by the Fortaleza , but still got access to the second national division of 2018. This year, the team has only one victory in three rounds of Serie B and is already having to worry about the relegation zone. In all three games he played so far for the Serie B, all scored more than 1.5 goals. Despite the start a bit bad in the second division of the Brazilian Championship, we believe that Sampaio Corrêa will have conditions to beat Paysandú, since his only victory in the competition was right at home.

In the three matches that he played so far for the B Series of the Brazilian Championship, all were scored less than 3.5 goals. Despite the good performance in the first rounds, Paysandú still has not managed to convince as a visitor and that is why we believe that it will have many difficulties to face Sampaio Corrêa.
