Coritiba v Mirassol: Sudamericana push meets survival fight | OneFootball

Coritiba host Mirassol in the Brasileirão on 6 September 2026 at Estádio Major Antônio Couto Pereira, with the home side targeting continental places and the visitors looking to keep daylight to the relegation zone.

Coritiba are seventh on 37 points, while Mirassol sit 16th with 25. The hosts won the reverse fixture in March, 1-0 away.

Coxa have momentum after three wins in their last four league games, including a home victory over Corinthians and an away success at Remo. Mirassol are winless in four in the league, though creditable draws with Santos and leaders Palmeiras show they can frustrate stronger sides. Away form remains a concern, with only one win on the road this season.

Coxa-Branca are without suspended centre-back Tiago Cóser, and injuries sideline Tinga, Keno, Brian Ocampo, Pedro Rangel and Lucas Ronier. Mirassol list Negueba and Edson Carioca (both forwards) plus midfielder José Aldo as injured.

Expect contrasting styles. Coxa average 40% possession and may look to spring transitions, led by league contributors Breno Lopes on eight goals, Pedro Rocha on seven and creator Josue, who ranks second for assists with nine. Mirassol keep more of the ball at 49% and deliver plenty of crosses, with Reinaldo and Alesson supplying four assists each, but a defence conceding 39 league goals could be exposed.

A home win would lift Coxa to 40 points and strengthen their Sudamericana bid. Victory would move Mirassol to 28 points and could ease them further from the drop, while defeat may drag them closer to the relegation fight.
