Mirassol's Reinaldo on Corinthians clash: "They're favourites" | OneFootball

Left-back Reinaldo believes that Mirassol will not have an easy time against Corinthians and placed the favoritism for the match on Timão. The teams face each other this Saturday night at 9 p.m. (Brasília time), at Neo Química Arena, for the 27th round of the Brazilian Championship.

The history of the matchup points to a wide advantage for Corinthians, with 10 wins in 15 games. However, it was Mirassol who came out on top in the first round of the Brasileirão by coming from behind to win 2-1 at Estádio Campos Maia, in the eighth round.

“Corinthians is a very strong team, especially when playing at home. We won in the first round, but every game is a different story. The favoritism is theirs, but we are going to do what has been our recipe throughout the championship, which is to play with courage and go for the goal. That is the identity of our team and we are not going to change it,” projected the defender.

Mirassol, in fact, has a better campaign than Corinthians in this edition of the Brazilian Championship. The team from the interior of São Paulo is in fifth place, with 43 points, while the alvinegra team is in 13th place, with only 30 points earned.

Reinaldo celebrates good form

Reinaldo also celebrated the good moment he is experiencing at Mirassol. The left-back is having his most prolific goal-scoring season of his career—he reached this milestone by finding the net in the 1-1 draw against Red Bull Bragantino last Wednesday in the Brasileirão.

The defender is the team's top scorer this season, with ten goals—three more than Gabriel Santana. Reinaldo also has three assists in Série A.

“I am living a wonderful year here at Mirassol. I feel happy at the club and that way I can repay the trust that the board and coaching staff have placed in me. This has been reflected not only in my individual numbers, but also in the performance of the whole team, which is having a historic campaign,” said the player.
