Mirassol v Botafogo: survival push meets Sudamericana chase | OneFootball

Mirassol host Botafogo in the Brasileirão on 19 September 2026 at the Maião, with the hosts seeking breathing space above the drop and the visitors eyeing consolidation in the Copa Sudamericana spots.

Mirassol have yet to beat Botafogo in three top flight meetings. Botafogo won 3-2 in April, while the other two ended level, including a goalless draw at this ground in 2025.

Mirassol have lost one of their last five league games, drawing 2-2 with Vitória last time out after winning at Coritiba. Fogão ended a four game league winless run by edging Grêmio 3-2, following draws with Palmeiras and RB Bragantino.

Suspension and injuries shape selection. Mirassol are without Alesson (suspended) and the injured Walter, Negueba and José Aldo. Fogão are missing defenders Kaio Fernando Da Silva Pantaleao and Anthony, plus midfielder Jordan Barrera.

Glorioso's attack has produced 41 league goals and a 47.96% shooting accuracy, with Danilo on nine and Arthur Cabral on seven, while Álvaro Montoro has five assists. That threat could test a Mirassol defence with only one clean sheet and 42 conceded. The hosts may look to build through their 84.81% passing and seek delivery from wide defenders Igor and Reinaldo, each on four assists.

A win would lift Mirassol to 32 points and could move them further from the relegation places. Victory for Glorioso would take them to 38 points, nudging them towards the top half and strengthening their Sudamericana push.
