Bitesize Prediction: Paysandu vs Volta Redonda – 05/09/25

Competition: Serie B

Market: Both teams to score – No

Odds: 8/11 @ 1xBet

Two camps who find themselves stuck at the bottom of the Serie B standings, Paysandu will welcome Volta Redonda to the Estadio da Curuzu on Friday night.

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. Including a 1-0 loss at home against CRB on August 18th, Friday’s guests have mustered just two points from their last five showdowns. Getting this weekend’s fixtures underway sat seven points adrift of safety, Volta Redonda have also shown their own glaring attacking struggles. Including a pair of uneventful 0-0 stalemates against Ferroviaria and Novorizontino, it’s worth highlighting that Volta Redonda have failed to register a single Serie B strike since the end of July.
