The visitors' first away game in the Serie B ended in defeat. Last season Londrina had these away match statistics: Played 5; won 1, drew 1 and lost 3.

It might be tough going out on the road again for Londrina, facing their second straight away game. Especially as the previous game, ended with a defeat 0-3 versus Chapecoense (placed 6th). Londrina goalkeeper Frigeri took pride in a wonderful day's work vs Chapecoense, but in spite of making eight saves the loss could not be avoided.

Prior to that match, a home win 1-0 against ABC.
