Mirassol vs Internacional: Can the Unbeaten Run Continue?

Mirassol have not lost any of their last three meetings with Internacional, and their most recent win came away from home, a 2-1 victory in April. That record gives the hosts a psychological edge heading into Friday’s Serie A clash.

Two sides chasing stability

Neither side is enjoying a comfortable season. Mirassol sit 15th with 33 points from 30 games, while Internacional are 17th with 32. Mirassol’s goal difference of -10 is the bigger concern, and Internacional’s -5 is hardly reassuring either. Both teams know a result here could shift the picture in the table.

Form

Mirassol have had an uneven run, with a recent sequence of LDWDW. Over their last five matches they have scored seven and conceded five, a sign that their attack has been more productive than it was earlier in the campaign. Across the season they have scored 34 and conceded 44.

Internacional have been streaky, with a recent run of DWLWL. They have scored seven and conceded seven in their last five, and their away record has been modest: seven wins in 15 road games across the season, and 38 goals conceded in total.

Head-to-head

The recent meetings have been tight. Internacional were beaten 2-1 at home in April, Mirassol won 3-1 in October, and the sides drew 1-1 in May 2025. Mirassol have won two and drawn one of those three, which is why the hosts arrive with confidence.

Team news

Mirassol will be without Jose Aldo, who is out with a muscle injury, and Negueba, sidelined by a knee problem.

Internacional face a bigger headache. Kayky is out with an ankle injury and S. Rochet with a lower back problem. Allex, G. Maripan and A. Sanabria are also unavailable. Alan Patrick is a doubt with an injury.

Our prediction

We expect a tight, low-scoring contest in which Mirassol’s home advantage and their recent edge over Internacional make the difference. Both sides have struggled to score consistently away from home, and Internacional’s absences leave them short of attacking options. A narrow home win looks the most likely outcome.

Mirassol 1-0 Internacional
