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.

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: Palmeiras's quality should tell even on the road. Mirassol will push, but the visitors have too much class. Palmeiras to win.
