In this week 3 match on Apr 21st, Londrina will play host to Novorizontino in a meeting of these two extremely mismatched Serie B teams. Weather on match day is looking like a cloudy but warm day with daytime temperatures of 20 degrees, a perfect day for football. 5th placed Londrina is fresh off their 0-1 loss against Criciúma. Marquinhos Gabriel scored the first goal for Criciúma in the 16th minute, and that was all the excitement the two teams could muster In the end, Londrina couldn’t muster any offence and Criciúma ran away with the shutout win. Londrina is looking for direction having 1 win and 1 losses in their last 10 matches, while 15th placed Novorizontino is fresh off their 0-0 scoreless draw against Vila Nova. Vila Nova had 13 on net, and Novorizontino had 10, but no one could beat the goalie, and the game ended in a 0-0 draw,. They’re hoping to improve on their recent performance, having earned only 10 points in their last 10 matches.
These two teams have not yet played each other this season, so it will be interesting how the match turns out. Marcelinho and Caprini 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.
