Londrina x Operário: where to watch, lineups and referee in Série B

Londrina and Operário-PR make an important confrontation in Paraná on Sunday (6), for the 26th round of the Serie B of the Brazilian Championship. The ball rolls at 11am, at Vitorino Gonçalves Dias Stadium (VGD), in Londrina. The match will be broadcast by ESPN and Disney+.

The duel puts two teams face-to-face pressured by sequences without victory. Londrina arrives in the 18th place and within the relegation zone, in addition to accumulating nine games without winning. The Worker appears in ninth position and tries to get closer to the G6 after six consecutive games without triumphs.

Worker seeks reaction in return

The Phantom finished the first round of the Serie B in the vice-leadership, but still failed to win in the return. The current sequence has four defeats and two draws. In the two most recent matches, however, the team led by Luizinho Lopes added points in front of Vila Nova and Fortaleza.

In the last match, the Worker tied for 1-1 with Fortaleza, away from home. Ángel Torres scored the alvinegro goal. The trend is to maintain a good part of the team used in the last rounds.

The Phantom can start with:

Worker-PR: Vagner; Maguinho, Cuenú, Joseph and Moraes; Matheus Trindade, Vinícius Diniz and Boschilia; Berto, Pablo and Ángel Torres.

Technical: Luizinho Lopes.

Mikael Doka follows as absence in the projection for the confrontation.

Probable escalation of Londrina

On the other hand, Londrina also tries to put an end to a long fast. The Shark has not won since July 4, when he beat CRB 5 to 0. Since then, there have been four draws and five defeats. In the previous round, the team was in the tie without goals with the leader Youth, in the VGD itself.

The probable escalation of Londrina:

Londrina: Luan Ribeiro; Kauê Leonardo, Wallace, Gabriel Lacerda and Caio Rodrigues; Kevyn, Lucas Marques, João Vitor and Guilherme Portuga; Gilberto and William Pottker.

Technical: Rogério Micale.

The official formation of the two teams will be announced approximately one hour before the match.
