Mirassol v Flu: third-place push meets relegation fight in the Brasileirão | OneFootball

Mirassol host Fluminense in the Brasileirão on Saturday, 23 May 2026 at the Maião, with the home side battling in the relegation zone and the visitors looking to consolidate a top three position.

Mirassol and Fluminense split last season's league meetings, each winning at home. Mirassol start 19th on 13 points, while Fluminense sit third with 30.

Mirassol's recent run mixes highs and setbacks: a 2-1 home win over Corinthians and a victory against LDU Quito, plus a draw with Chapecoense, were offset by defeat at Atlético Mineiro. Flu are unbeaten in five across league and cups, including league wins over São Paulo and a Libertadores success against Bolívar, alongside draws with Vitória and Independiente Rivadavia.

Mirassol are without forwards André Luis and Negueba and defender Igor through injury. Flu list midfielders Alisson and Martinelli and forward Matheus Reis as injured.

Season trends point to the visitors' greater output, with 27 league goals scored to Mirassol's 17, though the venue could matter: Mirassol have taken nine points at the Maião, while Flu have gathered eight away. The visitors' attacking options include Germán Cano, Yeferson Soteldo and David Terans, and Mirassol's recent home win over Corinthians underlines their capacity to test higher placed opponents.

A win would move Mirassol to 16 points and could tighten their survival push. Three points for Tricolor Carioca would strengthen their grip on the Libertadores group stage places and keep them among the leading pack. A draw would leave both with work to do at opposite ends of the table.
