The Copa Verde 2026 Final brings together two Brazilian clubs with a significant gap in current form. Paysandu Pa arrive as the clear in-form side, posting a 67% win rate over their last 30 days across nine matches, while Anapolis have managed just one win in their last seven. The two sides already met in the Campeonato Brasileiro Série C 2026, where Paysandu Pa won 2-1 as heavy underdogs on paper, a result that tells you a lot about the current competitive gap. Paysandu’s forward line has been relentless in recent weeks, scoring in bunches against Nacional-AM (4-2) and Floresta EC (2-1), while Anapolis midfielder coverage will be the key defensive test for Jeff Strasser’s side, given how exposed they have looked conceding in back-to-back losses to Rio Branco ES and Brusque.
Hot stat: Paysandu Pa have won six of their last nine matches and have lost just twice in that run, while Anapolis have lost three of their last seven, including two consecutive defeats immediately before their most recent draw against Maranhao.

Anapolis vs Paysandu Pa Prediction
Paysandu Pa are the standout pick here. Their 64% win rate across 33 matches this year is not a fluke, and their recent run of form heading into a cup final is the kind of momentum that wins silverware. Anapolis, sitting at just 32% wins from 31 matches, have struggled to convert draws into wins and have been leaking goals at an uncomfortable rate. The Série C meeting earlier this season, where Paysandu won 2-1 despite the bookmakers rating Anapolis as heavy favorites at 62%, reinforces that the form table reflects the real balance of power between these clubs.
Anapolis tend to set up in a 3-5-2, which gives them defensive width but can leave them vulnerable on transitions when the midfield line is bypassed. Paysandu’s 4-3-3 is built for exactly that kind of pressing and counter-press approach. Júnior Rocha’s side has also shown they can win tight games (1-0 against Nacional-AM) as well as higher-scoring ones, suggesting tactical flexibility. Given the Copa Verde Final setting, we predict Paysandu Pa to win, with goals likely to flow from their front three.
- We predict: Paysandu Pa to win

Team Analysis
Anapolis have been inconsistent across their last five matches, managing just a single draw against Maranhao (0-0) in their most recent outing. Before that, they lost 0-2 to Rio Branco ES, lost 0-1 to Brusque, and only showed any attacking output in the 3-0 win over Rio Branco ES and a 1-1 draw with Barra. Jeff Strasser’s side has a clear problem converting possession into goals, and their 3-5-2 shape seems more focused on not conceding than on creating. Three defeats in the last seven matches, two of which were clean-sheet losses, point to a team that struggles when pressed high.
Paysandu Pa head into this final on the back of a 1-2 loss to Figueirense, but that result looks like an anomaly given their broader run. Before that, they beat Nacional-AM 4-2, Floresta EC 2-1, and Nacional-AM twice more (1-0 each time). Júnior Rocha’s 4-3-3 generates consistent attacking output, and the squad’s ability to win both comfortably and narrowly shows depth and game management. Six wins from nine in the last 30 days is the kind of form that makes them clear favorites to lift the Copa Verde trophy.
The only available head-to-head data comes from the Campeonato Brasileiro Série C 2026 Regular Season, where Paysandu Pa won 2-1 against Anapolis. Bookmakers had rated Anapolis as 62% favorites for that match, making Paysandu’s win a significant result.

TipsGG Match Prediction
Paysandu Pa are the team to back in this Copa Verde 2026 Final. Their 67% win rate over the last 30 days, their 64% win rate across the full season, and their direct 2-1 win over Anapolis earlier this year all point in the same direction. Anapolis have shown they can grind out draws and occasionally produce a big result, such as the 3-0 win over Rio Branco ES, but their form across the season (32% wins from 31 matches) does not belong at the level Paysandu Pa are currently operating. We predict Paysandu Pa to win this final, with goals from their front three being the difference. Both teams to score is a reasonable secondary bet given Anapolis’s ability to nick a goal even in defeat, and the total is likely to land over 1.5 given Paysandu’s attacking output in recent weeks.
