Londrina PR vs Athletic Club Prediction: June 20, 2026 Campeonato Brasileiro Série B

Londrina PR host Athletic Club at Estadio Vitorino Goncalves Dias in a Série B clash that carries real urgency for the home side. Sitting 17th with just 11 points from 13 games, Londrina are in genuine relegation danger, while Athletic Club occupy 9th with 19 points and a game that has produced draws in seven of their 13 outings. The head-to-head record is telling: Athletic Club have won all three previous meetings between these sides, including two 2-1 victories and a 3-2 win, all played in the Série C in 2024. Londrina striker Bruno Santos de Oliveira is the main attacking threat for the hosts, carrying five shots and a goal across the last four matches, while Athletic Club’s defensive midfielder Diogo Batista de Souza has contributed both a goal and an assist from deep this term, making him a player who can hurt Londrina in transition.

Hot stat: Londrina have conceded in each of their last five competitive matches, shipping 8 goals in that run, and have not kept a single clean sheet. Athletic Club, by contrast, have lost just once in their last five, drawing four and winning one.

Londrina PR vs Athletic Club Prediction

Athletic Club’s consistency stands out in this fixture. They have not lost in five straight matches and have drawn seven of their 13 Série B games, a pattern that points toward a measured, hard-to-beat unit. Londrina are winless in four of their last five and have been conceding freely, particularly at home where the pressure to attack leaves them exposed at the back. Given Athletic Club’s away form and their historical dominance in this head-to-head, backing the visitors to avoid defeat looks like the best value on the board.

Londrina averaged 56 fouls across their last five matches, compared to Athletic Club’s 57, so both sides are physical and prone to disrupting play. Londrina also accumulated 12 yellow cards in that span against Athletic Club’s 8, suggesting Londrina’s aggression could work against them, especially if they chase the game. Londrina hold 77.8% pass accuracy versus Athletic Club’s 78.9%, so there is little separation in ball control, but Athletic Club win the interceptions battle 33 to 25, reflecting their better defensive organization. Athletic Club’s corner tally of 17 in five games is nearly level with Londrina’s 18, but Athletic Club generate 44 total shots to Londrina’s 43, with superior defensive structure behind it.

Team Analysis

Londrina’s recent form reads as a genuine concern. They went winless in four of their last five, with losses to Criciuma (0-1), Vila Nova (0-1), and Fortaleza (0-3) sandwiched around a 4-1 win over bottom-side Ponte Preta. The 3-2 win over Avai on June 15 offers some relief, but Avai sit 18th and were in poor form themselves. Across the last five matches, Londrina have scored just 7 goals while conceding 8, and they carry two red cards in that period, which has cost them discipline at critical moments. Coach Rogério Micale relies on a 4-2-3-1 shape but has struggled to build any defensive solidity, particularly in away fixtures where the team has shipped goals regularly.

Athletic Club arrive in better shape. Their last five results include wins over Fortaleza (1-0) and Botafogo SP (2-1), with draws against Goias (1-1), Sport Recife (1-1), and Juventude (1-1). The draw against Sport Recife, who sit second in the table, is a notable result. Coach Alex has settled on a 4-1-2-1-2 system that prioritizes defensive compactness, and it shows in the numbers: just five goals conceded in their last five matches and 33 interceptions as a team. Goalkeeper Luan Polli has made 12 saves in four appearances, underlining how Athletic Club defend deep and absorb pressure before hitting on the counter.

Pre-game Odds and Win Probability: Londrina PR the Slight Favourite

• Moneyline Londrina PR 2.50 | Athletic Club 2.82
• Draw 2.99
• Over/Under Over 2.5 — | Under 2.5 —
• BTTS (both teams to score) Yes — | No —

The bookmakers price Londrina as marginal favorites at around 2.50, reflecting home advantage rather than current form. Athletic Club at 2.82 looks like fair value given their unbeaten run and head-to-head dominance. The draw at roughly 3.00 is not unattractive either, considering Athletic Club have drawn seven of 13 league games. We lean toward Athletic Club’s double chance as the most defensible position in this market, with the visitors’ odds offering genuine value against a Londrina side that has been leaking goals and collecting red cards.

Possible Starting Lineups

Londrina PR Possible Starting Eleven

Londrina’s 4-2-3-1 setup places Mauricio Kozlinski between the sticks, where he made eight saves in four matches. The back four is built around Gabriel Lacerda and Yago Lincoln as the central pair. Paulo Roberto Moccelin anchors midfield with one assist in four games, and Bruno Santos de Oliveira leads the attack as the primary striker. Kaue Leonardo de Souza Prado provides cover at right back. Londrina’s 11 offsides in five games suggest the forwards push the line aggressively, which can create space but also disrupts rhythm.

Athletic Club Possible Starting Eleven

Coach Alex fields a 4-1-2-1-2 shape with Luan Polli as goalkeeper, and his 12 saves in four matches make him one of the more active keepers in this match. Lucas Belezi leads the passing volume with 190 passes in four games at 83.2% accuracy, operating as the left-sided defensive anchor. Jhonatan provides physical presence at center back with six interceptions. Diogo Batista de Souza, who has contributed both a goal and an assist, is perhaps Athletic Club’s most dangerous player from deep, and Maswel Ananias Silva adds energy in central midfield. Dixon Vera leads the attacking line with consistent minutes despite limited shot volume.

TipsGG Match Prediction

The stats and head-to-head record point in one direction. Athletic Club have beaten Londrina in all three previous meetings, scoring seven goals across those games, and arrive here unbeaten in five. Londrina’s defensive issues, two red cards in five matches, 8 goals conceded, and a bottom-three league position, are hard to ignore regardless of home advantage. We predict Athletic Club to earn at least a draw, with a narrow away win the most likely single outcome. Both teams to score is reasonable given Londrina’s attack did find the net against Avai and Athletic Club have scored in every recent match. We go with Athletic Club Double Chance as the headline pick, supported by both teams to score and under 2.5 goals given Athletic Club’s tendency to keep matches tight.
