On the 24th of September, Londrina will host Ponte Preta at Estádio Municipal Jacy Scaff in a meeting of these two closely matched Serie B teams. The game day is forecasted to be a cloudy and cool day, with daytime temperatures of only 12 degrees, which should make for a nice day for football. Londrina sits at 5th place in the tables. In their last match they recorded a 1-1 draw against Tombense. Danilo de Souza Lima struck first for Londrina in the 19th minute, but Ciel got the equalizer for Tombense in the 85th minute earning them at least the one point. Londrina is looking for direction having earned 16 points in their last 10 matches, while ponte Preta is fresh off their 1-1 draw against Ituano. Elvis scored the first goal for Ponte Preta in the 27th minute, then Valerio tied it up for Ituano in the 43rd minute squeezing out at least the one point for Ituano. Ponte Preta should be reasonably happy with their recent performance, earning 18 points in their last 10 matches.
On Saturday Jun 11th, Ponte Preta hosted Londrina at the Estádio Moisés Lucarelli in their last match together. Londrina won by a score of 2 to 1. Matheus Lucas struck first for Londrina in the 74th minute, then João Paulo added another in the 90th minute on a penalty kick.
Lucca has been the most effective weapon for Ponte Preta lately. The Brazilian attacker has netted 3 goals in his last five matches. Douglas Coutinho and Alan Ruschel are the top scorers for Londrina in the last 5 matches, but unfortunately they only have one goal. It’s hard to imagine having success with those stats.
