"Starting with the hosts, making a much-welcomed return to winning ways last week as they secured a stellar 2-1 victory at home against Fluminense, Mirassol have embarked on a sensational Serie A fairytale. Despite only making their top-flight return this season, Rafael Guanaes' high-flying squad have rightfully received a string of plaudits from across South America. Opening up the midweek fixtures sat in fourth-place, the Yellows are also storming their way to an iconic Copa Libertadores ticket, Mirassol will be confident"
"Both missing out against Fluminense last week after serving respective domestic suspensions, the duo of Jose Aldo and former Sport Recife defender Lucas Ramon will return to Guanaes' squad here. However, dealing with a recent muscle issue, ex-Goias striker Edson Carioca remains a major doubt. Coming off the bench and bagging a first Serie A strike since the middle of August, 25-year-old Negueba could be handed a full recall."
Mirassol sit fourth in the Brazilian Serie A and aim to widen their top-four buffer when they host Internacional in Sao Paulo. Mirassol returned to winning ways with a 2-1 victory over Fluminense and have lost only two of their last ten league matches. The Yellows are unbeaten in 13 consecutive home fixtures across all competitions and have taken ten points from their last four Sao Paulo matchups. Jose Aldo and Lucas Ramon return from suspension while Edson Carioca is a muscle doubt. Negueba could start after scoring as a substitute and Neto Moura will anchor midfield. Internacional earned a 2-0 win over Botafogo but continue to show a string of issues this season.
