No payout for Londrina in their previous match, an away game at CRB that ended in defeat 0-1. Luiz Henrique was "man of the match" with a rating of 7.65 out of 10. The defender Henrique hit one key pass and won 10 of 14 duels.

Before that game, the home loss against Cruzeiro with the scoreline 0-1.
