Insights:
  • Londrina is in the best form (3-2-1)

It's no vacation for neither Londrina nor Cruzeiro as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.

It's time to recharge all electronic entertainment devices for Cruzeiro, who are travelling more than 1100 kilometers to play this game.

Londrina are fighting like crazy to avoid relegation and desperately need points in this fixture. Cruzeiro are still fighting for the big positions at the top of the table.
