"Starting with the hosts, while Mirassol might have rightfully received a string of plaudits since making their iconic Serie A return this season, it is fair to say that Rafael Guanaes' side are seeking a recent boost. Last seen falling to a routine 3-0 drumming away at Corinthians, the Yellows have mustered just a single point from any of their previous three top-flight appearances."
"Nevertheless, sat in the driving seat to punch a sensational Copa Libertadores ticket this year, Mirassol have gained a reputation for their extended dominance on home soil. Including a thumping 5-1 victory against Bahia on August 31st, Guanaes' camp are unbeaten in all of their last 12 straight showdowns in front of their own supporters - a run that stems all the way back to the end of February."
Mirassol host Fluminense in Sao Paulo as both clubs target Copa Libertadores qualification. Mirassol have struggled recently with one point from their last three Serie A matches but remain formidable at home, unbeaten in 12 straight matches including a 5-1 win over Bahia. Jose Aldo and Lucas Ramon are suspended after bookings, while Neto Moura returns from suspension. Alesson could be recalled and veteran Reinaldo retains the left-back spot. Fluminense suffered Copa Sudamericana elimination to Lanus but have recovered domestically with a 3-0 win over Atletico Mineiro under Luis Zubeldia. Betting favours Mirassol draw no bet (7/10, Luckster).
