Mirassol v Bahia: relegation fight meets Libertadores push | OneFootball

Mirassol host Bahia in the Brasileirão on Saturday, 11 April 2026 at the Maião, with the bottom side chasing a lift and the visitors eyeing the top spots.

Mirassol smashed Bahia 5-1 in this fixture last season, while the other 2025 meeting ended 1-1. The hosts start this round 20th and in the relegation places, whereas the visitors sit fifth and in the Copa Libertadores picture.

Form points to a contrast. Mirassol have lost four league games on the spin, though they beat Lanús 1-0 in midweek. Tricolor Baiano have won three of their past five league matches and have travelled well, taking three away wins from four this season.

In terms of selection, Mirassol list defender Igor as injured. The visitors are without goalkeeper Ronaldo and forward Ruan Pablo through injury.

On season numbers, Mirassol have scored 10 and conceded 14 in nine league matches, so tightening up at the back may be decisive. Bahia have 13 for and nine against, and with their strong away return could look to manage territory and strike when chances come.

A home win would move Mirassol to nine points and could lift them off the bottom, edging them towards safety. Victory for Esquadrão de Aço would take them to 20 points and strengthen their push for the Libertadores places, with scope to climb further in the table.
