Vitória v Mirassol: mid-table push meets early survival concerns | OneFootball

Vitória host Mirassol in the Brasileirão at Estádio Manoel Barradas on Sunday, 22 March 2026, with both aiming to climb the table after mixed starts. The hosts sit 13th on seven points, the visitors 16th on six.

Vitória and Mirassol are split by one point and recent head to head leans towards the hosts after a 2-0 home win in November 2025. Another positive result would help steady both campaigns.

Leão da Barra have banked six of their seven points at home and conceded only two goals on their own pitch. They beat Atlético Mineiro 2-0 here before a 2-0 loss at Grêmio, with a 1-1 draw at Bahia in between. Mirassol are winless in three league games, drawing 2-2 with Santos before narrow defeats against Palmeiras and Coritiba, and have taken one point from two away matches.

Nêgo are without Marinho, Pedro Henrique, Edu, Dudu, Ismael, Claudinho and goalkeeper Fintelman through injury. Mirassol miss José Aldo through suspension, while Carlos Eduardo and Igor are injured, trimming options in midfield and defence.

Leão da Barra's solid home record suggests they may look to keep control and limit risks, while Mirassol could prioritise a compact shape on the road. The visitors' earlier 2-2 draw indicates they can threaten, but margins may hinge on how well they contain the hosts' home momentum.

A home win would move Vitória to 10 points and could widen their cushion from the relegation places. Mirassol would rise to nine points with victory and may pull further clear of the bottom four. Defeat could leave them closer to the drop zone.
