Paysandu ranks third-best attack in Brazil as it prepares for Amazonas clash

Brazilian Serie C side Paysandu is credited with the third‑best attack in the nation, having scored 67 goals in 38 matches (1.76 goals per game). Only Flamengo (73) and Vitória (68) have higher tallies across the three Serie divisions. Coach Júnior Rocha said the offensive output justifies keeping the current system, noting that forwards Ítalo, Kleiton Pego and Juninho account for 53.7% of the team’s goals.

The club sits fourth in the Serie C table with 23 points and will travel to face Amazonas on 26 July, following a 3‑2 victory over Guarani. Striker Ítalo, the season’s top scorer with 15 goals, highlighted the two‑week break as vital for physical and mental recovery and reaffirmed his desire to stay at Paysandu and help the side achieve promotion.
