Mirassol welcome Internacional to José Maria de Campos Maia with both clubs staring nervously at the table rather than the top. Mirassol sit 15th on 33 points, Internacional one spot and one point below them, making this a genuine survival match rather than a mid-table formality. The sides have already met once this season, back in April, when Mirassol edged a 2-1 win, and the home side remains unbeaten in all three of their recent head-to-head meetings. Neither club has found consistency lately, and that shared instability is what makes this fixture harder to call than the standings alone suggest.
Carlos Eduardo de Oliveira Alve has been Mirassol’s sharpest attacking outlet across their last three games, scoring twice from midfield while also chipping in with set-piece deliveries. For Internacional, Vitinho carries the biggest goal threat, netting twice from nine shots in his last three appearances, more efforts than any other player from either squad in that span.
Hot stat: Internacional have fired 44 shots across their last five matches but scored only three goals, matching the tally Mirassol managed from just 30 attempts. Both attacks are struggling to turn volume into end product right now.

Mirassol vs Internacional prediction
We lean toward Mirassol avoiding defeat here, with the double chance 1X standing out as the cleanest angle. The home side is unbeaten in three straight head-to-head meetings with this opponent, and their home ground has historically been a tough place for Internacional to take points from. Perhaps the more telling detail is discipline: Internacional have picked up 10 yellow cards across their last five matches against Mirassol’s four, and their fouls count (59) nearly doubles Mirassol’s (30). A side committing that many fouls away from home tends to invite set-piece trouble and struggles to build rhythm.
Mirassol’s pass accuracy sits comfortably ahead of Internacional’s in recent matches, 1119 completed passes against 796, which points to a side more comfortable controlling tempo at home. Internacional’s higher shot count (44 versus 30) shows they still create looks on goal even away from home, which keeps BTTS firmly in play. To be honest, neither defense has been watertight lately, so backing a clean sheet for either side feels like a stretch.

Team Analysis
Mirassol’s recent form reads two wins, two draws and one loss across their last five outings, a stretch that includes a thumping 4-0 win over Uberlandia and a 2-2 draw with Vitoria. The most recent result tells a different story though: a 0-1 home-ish defeat to Bahia last time out, where Mirassol failed to register a goal despite their usual attacking patterns. In our preview of Bahia vs Mirassol we called a tight Bahia win with goals at both ends, and the 0-1 scoreline got the winner right but missed on BTTS, so that call only partly landed.
Internacional’s last four results show two wins, one draw and one loss, a run that includes a 2-1 win over Corinthians and a narrow 0-1 defeat to Sao Paulo. Their most recent outing ended 1-1 away at Gremio, a result that kept their unbeaten run alive without adding to the points tally. In our preview of Gremio vs Internacional we called Internacional to avoid defeat via Draw No Bet, and the 1-1 result delivered exactly that, though BTTS landed against our card while Under 2.5 held up.

Pre-game odds and win probability: Mirassol the favourite
- Moneyline Mirassol 2.15 | Internacional 3.25
- Draw 3.38
Bookmakers give Mirassol roughly 43% implied chance of victory, well ahead of Internacional’s 29% and the draw’s 28%. That gap matches the eye test: Mirassol are the better-organized side at home, while Internacional’s travel form this season has been patchy. We predict value remains on the draw price given how tight recent meetings between these two have been, with two of the last three head-to-head matches finishing level or within a goal.

Possible Starting Lineups
Mirassol possible starting eleven
- GK: Walter Leandro Capeloza Artune
- DF: Reinaldo, Willian Estefani Machado, Igor Formiga, Lucas Oliveira
- MF: Neto Moura, Denilson Alves Borges, Carlos Eduardo de Oliveira Alve
- FW: Bruno Santos de Oliveira, Edson Carioca, Alesson dos Santos Batista
Rafael Guanaes should stick with his preferred 4-3-3, built around a settled back four that has played almost every minute across the last three matches. Carlos Eduardo de Oliveira Alve is the one to watch given his two goals from midfield, while Alesson dos Santos Batista offers width and an extra creative outlet up front.
Internacional possible starting eleven
- GK: Anthoni Spier Souza
- DF: Gabriel Mercado, Bruno Gomes, Alexandro Bernabéi
- MF: Brian Aguirre, José Carlos Ferreira Júnior, Thiago Maia, Paulo Lucas Santos de Paula
- FW: Alan Patrick, Vitinho, Alerrandro
Eduardo Baptista’s 3-4-2-1 relies on Gabriel Mercado and Bruno Gomes anchoring the back three, with Brian Aguirre and José Carlos Ferreira Júnior pushing forward as wing-backs. Vitinho remains the player to watch given his finishing form, and Alan Patrick’s set-piece delivery adds another route to goal for the visitors.

TipsGG Match Prediction
We predict Mirassol edge this one narrowly or share the points, leaning on their unbeaten head-to-head record and home comfort over Internacional’s leaky away form. Both attacks have struggled for conversion lately, so goals should stay on the lower side while both defenses leak enough to let the opponent score. Perhaps the safest structured route is Mirassol Double Chance combined with BTTS Yes, backed by our discipline read on Internacional’s high foul count translating into set-piece opportunities for the hosts.
