Londrina form and stats

The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Londrina so far with only 6 points returning home. The records show 1-3-2 (win-draw-lose). Visiting Londrina has seen their last two away games both end with a tied score and one point each.

The Londrina goalkeeper Cesar Augusto Soares dos Reis is collecting clean sheets like a laundry worker. It's been 312 league minutes without conceding a goal, and counting.

Impressive finishing from Gegê secured the home win 1-0 against Remo in their previous game. César was the team player of the game with the player rating of 7.45. The agile goalkeeper César stopped the opponent with two saves and topped it up with a clean sheet. Gegê came off the bench to score the winning goal in the match against Remo last time out, making the manager M. Fernandes Figueiredo feel like a tactical genius.
