Bragantino will look to end a difficult run of results when they host Mirassol in the 29th round of the 2026 Brasileirão on Wednesday, October 7. The match is scheduled for 7:30pm local time at the Estádio Cícero de Souza Marques in Bragança Paulista.
The hosts enter the fixture in 11th place with 36 points, while Mirassol sit 15th with 32 points. With both teams needing points at this stage of the campaign, the encounter could have an important impact on their respective positions in the table.
Bragantino Looking to Stop the Slide
Bragantino have struggled for consistency in recent weeks and are now without a win in their last four league matches. Their latest setback came on October 3, when they suffered a 1-0 defeat away to Atlético-MG.
That result left Vagner Mancini’s side six points clear of the relegation zone but also widened the gap between them and the teams competing for continental qualification. Bragantino will therefore see a home fixture against Mirassol as an opportunity to regain momentum.
The hosts have scored 33 goals and conceded 32 in their 28 league matches, highlighting a relatively even goal difference despite their inconsistent results. Improving their finishing will be particularly important after failing to score against Atlético-MG.
Mirassol Arrive in Better Form
Mirassol have enjoyed a more encouraging spell heading into this fixture. The visitors are unbeaten in their last three Brasileirão matches, collecting seven points from those games.
Their most recent match ended in a 2-0 victory over Botafogo, with Eduardo scoring both goals. That result moved Mirassol to 32 points and gave them some breathing room above the relegation zone.
Rafael Guanaes is expected to keep the same tactical structure that helped the team improve in recent matches. Alesson is available again after suspension, although he faces competition from Edson Carioca for a place in the attack.
Team News
Bragantino will be without Ignacio Sosa through suspension, while Alix Vinicius remains unavailable under concussion protocol. Davi Gomes is also recovering from knee surgery.
Mirassol have fewer concerns heading into the match. Negueba remains injured, while Aldo Filho is still completing his physical recovery. Alesson returns after suspension and provides another attacking option for Guanaes.
Head-to-Head Record
The overall head-to-head record is remarkably even. Bragantino and Mirassol have each recorded nine victories, while the other nine meetings have ended in draws across 27 previous encounters.
The teams have already met four times in 2026, with one win apiece and two draws. Their most recent meeting came in the Copa do Brasil, when Mirassol won 2-1 and progressed to the next round.
Bragantino vs Mirassol Prediction
Bragantino have home advantage and a strong incentive to respond after a poor run of results, but Mirassol arrive with greater confidence after collecting seven points from their last three league matches.
The hosts should have enough quality to make this a competitive contest, but Mirassol’s recent defensive and attacking improvement could make the game difficult for Bragantino. A closely fought match is expected, with both sides having strong reasons to avoid defeat.
