Palmeiras have lost just once away to Mirassol, a look back | OneFootball

Fighting for the title of the Brazilian Championship, Palmeiras visits Mirassol this Sunday at 8:30 PM (Brasília time), at the José Maria da Campos Maia Stadium, for the 33rd round of the competition. The Alviverde has a good track record as a visitor against the interior team, but the only defeat suffered in these conditions was very memorable for Verdão.

Memorable thrashing, but favorable history

On March 27, 2013, Mirassol thrashed Palmeiras by an incredible 6-2 at José Maria de Campos Maia, in the 15th round of that year's Paulista Championship. The great thrashing by the Lion of the Interior was achieved entirely in the first half. Caio and Ronny scored the two goals for Alviverde.

However, this specific game seems to be an outlier in the history of the matchup, as Palmeiras dominates the track record as a visitor against Mirassol: in total, there have been seven matches in these conditions, with five Palmeiras victories, one draw, and the defeat mentioned above.
