Mirassol welcome Palmeiras on Sunday, Aug 30 at 5:00 PM in a Serie A fixture that's tighter on paper than the positions suggest — just 2 points split them in the table.

Mirassol come into this fixture in mixed form (2W 1D 2L). Palmeiras, meanwhile, arrive drawing too many games (3D in last 5) — actually the better-performing side in recent weeks. Mirassol head into this on the back of a defeat, while Palmeiras arrive off a win — momentum clearly with the visitors.

Despite playing at home, Mirassol face a side that has dominated this fixture historically. Palmeiras have won 6 of 10 encounters, with 2 draws. Their last encounter ended in Mirassol won 0–1.

Verdict: This looks an evenly matched contest. Home advantage gives Mirassol a slight edge, but Palmeiras are capable of causing problems. A draw would be a fair result.
