Mirassol
- Mirassol FC will be a tough opponent for EC Vitoria in a Serie A relegation dogfight on Sunday, with Rafael Guanaes' side well established as a team with a clear identity.
- The Leãozinho have been busy in the pressing phase, forcing plenty of turnovers to create chances, and have been effective in transition, so the game plan is clear.
- Guanaes' men have won 1, drawn 2 and lost 2 of their last 5, but the win came in the most recent game, a 2-1 away victory at Coritiba that followed a 2-0 defeat to Flamengo.
- Mirassol are 16th in Serie A 2026 on 28 points from 26 games, while Vitoria are 14th with 29 from 25, so this is a close game between two teams looking to avoid the relegation scrap.
Vitoria
- The most alarming aspect of Vitória's season is that they are still seeking their first away win of the campaign, having drawn 4 and lost 9 of their 13 away matches.
- Jair Ventura has his men compact, conservative and dangerous in transition, but they have shipped 28 goals in 13 away trips and lack the firepower to blow teams away when they have the ball.
- Both teams have a clear plan and know what they want to do, but the recent form of both sides and Vitória's terrible away record tips this game towards the home side, despite Mirassol being a slight favorite at 1.84, 4.2 and 3.45.
Key Players
- Carlos Eduardo has been the sharpest end of the team, bagging 2 of their 4 goals across the last 5.
- Igor Marques has been the creator-in-chief, delivering 3 assists during the same 5-game stretch.
