Paysandu faces Ferroviária in decisive Série C promotion battle

Paysandu faces a decisive match against Ferroviária this Saturday at the Curuzu stadium, a critical fixture in the fifth round of the Série C quadrangular. The club is fighting for a chance to secure promotion to the 2027 Série B.

Currently in a delicate position with only one point from four matches, Paysandu must win this game and hope for a draw between Inter de Limeira and Brusque to remain mathematically viable for the second promotion spot. The team has shown strong home form at Curuzu this season, maintaining a 75% win rate with 11 victories in 16 matches.

Defender Bruno Bispo expressed confidence in the squad's ability to react, calling for fan support to overcome the difficult circumstances. The match also carries historical weight, as the two clubs previously met in a 2025 Série B encounter at the same venue.
