Mirassol FC vs Ceara SC
SAO PAULO (Interstat) — Mirassol FC looks to continue its recent dominance over Ceara SC when the Brazilian sides meet in a Carioca Série A fixture on Monday.
The clubs last faced each other on July 23, with Mirassol securing a 2-0 road victory. Monday’s match at Mirassol’s Estádio José Maria de Campos Maia offers the hosts a chance for a repeat performance.
Mirassol (8-5-5) enters the contest with momentum, coming off a 1-1 draw with Santos on Nov. 19 and a notable 2-1 victory over powerhouse Palmeiras on Nov. 9. Their home form has been strong, including a 3-0 win against Sao Paulo on Oct. 19.
Ceara SC (6-4-8) seeks to rebound from a difficult 2-1 home loss to Internacional on Nov. 20. Their recent form has been inconsistent, with just one win in their last five matches across all competitions. That victory was a 1-0 result against Paulista on Nov. 9.
According to the Interstat game simulator, Mirassol is projected to win 1-0. The home side will aim to leverage its recent success against Ceara and its potent home attack, while the visitors will look to improve their road form and find a more consistent scoring touch.
Following this match, Mirassol will travel to face EC Vitoria on Nov. 29, while Ceara SC will host Cruzeiro on the same date.
