Vasco da Gama desperately need points on Sunday, Jul 26 at 5:00 PM in the Serie A. With the team sitting in the bottom three, this is quickly becoming a must-win situation.

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

Despite playing at home, Vasco da Gama face a side that has dominated this fixture historically. Mirassol have won 3 of 3 encounters. Their last encounter ended in Vasco da Gama won 1–2. These two tend to produce goals — averaging 3.3 per game in recent meetings.

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