In a mid week match on Thursday May 19th, in week 8, Londrina will travel to Maceió to battle CRB in a Serie B match. Weather on match day is looking like a cloudy but warm day with daytime temperatures of 25 degrees, which should make for a nice day for football. 20th placed CRB is fresh off their 0-3 loss against Criciúma. Thiago Alagoano struck first for Criciúma in the 20th minute, then Rômulo added another in the 58th minute At the end of 90 a dissapointed CRB couldn’t manage to score, and Criciúma took the shutout win. CRB looks to improve on their recent performance, having earned only 7 points in their last 10 matches, while 13th placed Londrina is fresh off their 2-1 win against Brusque. Douglas Coutinho scored the first goal for Londrina in the 32nd minute, then Diego Jardel tied it up for Brusque in the 68th minute.

This will be the first match for these two teams against eachother this season. Last season CRB won the head to head battle with 2 wins.
Augusto and João Paulo are the top scorers for Londrina in the last five matches, but unfortunately they only have one goal. It’s hard to imagine having success with those stats. CRB’s most prolific scorer has been Fabinho. The Brazilian midfielder has netted 2 goals over the last five matches.
