The CRB is doing a terrible campaign in Serie B, but comes from a good sequence of 2 wins and 1 draw, so it managed to breathe a little better in the fight against the descent and goes in search of another win to get away from the zone of descent.

As a visitor, the CRB usually acts very badly, has the second worst use of the B Series, is the second team that won the least and the second most times lost in this type of situation, so much that it comes from 10 games without getting a win out of home. For the game against Londrina, coach Roberto Fernandes will not be able to count on the late Diogo Mateus and Serginho, both suspended due to the accumulation of yellow cards.
