Athletico Paranaense v Mirassol: top-four push meets survival fight | OneFootball

Athletico Paranaense host Mirassol in the Brasileirão on Saturday, 30 May 2026 at Estádio Mário Celso Petraglia, with the hosts chasing a sustained top-four tilt and the visitors battling to climb out of the relegation places.

Athletico Paranaense sit fourth on 27 points, firmly in the Copa Libertadores spots. Mirassol are 18th on 16 points and looking to build on recent signs of life to ease survival pressure.

Athletico-PR are unbeaten in their last two league games, drawing with Flamengo before winning away at Remo. Mirassol beat Fluminense last time out in the league, though recent away trips in the competition brought defeats at Atlético Mineiro and São Paulo.

Odair Hellmann is without Luiz Gustavo, Carlos Terán, Lucas Esquivel, Renan Viana, Mycael and Léo Derik through injury. Rafael Silva Guanaes is missing André Luis, Negueba and Igor.

CAP have been strong in Curitiba, taking 20 points from nine home games and conceding just six. Mirassol have struggled on the road with four points from seven away matches, shipping 12. That balance suggests CAP could look to control territory and tempo, while Mirassol may aim to stay compact and make the most of limited openings.

A win would move CAP to 30 points and could tighten their grip on the Libertadores places. Victory for Mirassol would take them to 19 points and could close the gap to safety in the relegation battle.
