Mirassol v Fla: title push meets survival fight | OneFootball

Mirassol host Flamengo in the Brasileirão on Sunday, 16 August 2026 at the Maião, with the hosts hovering just above the relegation places and the visitors sitting second in the table.

Mirassol and Flamengo meet for only the third time in the top flight. The previous two produced a draw and a Flamengo victory, so the hosts are still chasing a first win in this fixture.

Mirassol come in with one win from their last five in all competitions, while Fla are unbeaten across the same span with two wins and three draws. The hosts have taken 18 of their 23 league points at home, which could matter against high-ranking opposition.

Walter, Negueba and José Aldo are unavailable for Mirassol. Mengão travel without Luiz Araújo.

Fla's season profile points to control and punch: 1.9 goals per game, only 0.9 conceded, 56% possession and 88.19% passing accuracy, plus nine clean sheets. Pedro is second in the league scoring chart with 12, and Samuel Lino sits third for assists with seven. They could look to test a Mirassol back line with only one clean sheet and 1.4 goals conceded per game, while Alesson's supply may be key for the hosts. Fla have converted three penalties this season, and Mirassol have conceded five, which could also shape moments in the box.

A win would lift Mirassol to 26 points and could pull them further clear of the bottom four. Three points for Mengão would take them to 45, consolidating a Copa Libertadores spot and tightening their title chase.
