Context and current form of the teams

Londrina x Ponte Preta earned promotion together last season: Macaca finished as Serie C champions, while Tubarão were runners-up. This season, however, the scenarios are very different.

Londrina, coached by Rogério Micale, come into the match as favorites playing at Estádio do Café.

Ponte Preta, on the other hand, are in a dramatic situation: they are bottom of Serie B, with just ten points in 27 rounds, the worst campaign in the club’s history in the round-robin era. The crisis has also spilled off the pitch, with four coaches in 2026 and a players’ strike over unpaid wages; Gilson Kleina took charge on August 30.

Current standings

Ponte Preta sit in last place in Serie B, with ten points, from two wins, four draws, and 21 defeats. Londrina are also near the bottom of the table, in 18th place, but in a less delicate situation than their opponents.
