Londrina vs Fortaleza team news and expert analysis
The Londrina club were promoted from Serie C after finishing second. However, they are now perilously close to returning there, unable to escape the relegation zone and losing more than half of their matches. Still, they managed to win their most recent fixtures against São Bernardo and Ponte Preta.
The Fortaleza side have played in the top flight, but finished 18th in 2025. They are clearly determined to return to Serie A “at the first attempt” and have looked quite solid, winning regularly. However, they could only draw 1-1 with Ceará.
The outsider newcomers score an average of 1.36 goals per match and concede 1.39. The club aiming to return to the Brasileirão scores 1.10 goals per game while conceding 0.82 in return.
