Key Factors to Consider
- Mirassol has been in better form overall, sitting 4th with 59 points from 33 games, 16 wins, and a +21 goal difference. Santos is 16th with 33 points from 32 games, 8 wins, and a -15 goal difference. Mirassol scored 54 goals compared to Santos' 33, reflecting stronger offensive capacity. Recent form favors Mirassol, who have a winning streak, whereas Santos have mixed results and defensive vulnerabilities.
- Historically, Santos has the upper hand in the rivalry with Mirassol winning 2 out of the last 12 meetings, Santos winning 8, and 2 draws recorded. Recent seasons also show Santos with 6 wins out of 10 meetings. This home advantage and historical dominance slightly favor Santos, but the current league table and form tilt the edge toward Mirassol.
- No explicit injury reports are provided from the data. Both teams appear to have their key players available, including Mirassol’s top scorers Reinaldo Manoel (11 goals) and Luiz Henrique Soares Firmino (6 goals), and Santos’ key rated players. Absence of major injuries suggests full squads competing.
- The match will be played at Santos’ home stadium, Estádio Urbano Caldeira, possibly giving Santos some crowd advantage despite their struggles. Both teams have players with high booking rates which might affect aggressive play and discipline. Weather or other external conditions are not indicated.
- Santos is under pressure due to their precarious league position, battling to avoid relegation, which could boost motivation but also increase pressure-driven errors. Mirassol, secure in a top-four spot and chasing continental qualification, likely approach the game with confidence and tactical discipline to maintain their position.
