CR Flamengo vs Mirassol FC Prediction Brasileirão Série A · Sep 2, 2026

Analysis

Flamengo sit top of the Brasileirão on 51 points from 24 games (15-6-3) with the league's best defence at 20 goals conceded and a +24 goal difference, and they get Mirassol at home just 18 days after hammering them 5-1 in Mirassol. That August 15 result is the only head-to-head on record and it was brutally one-sided, even if the Rubro-Negro then slipped to a 2-1 defeat at Cruzeiro on August 22 to break a run of two wins and two draws. Mirassol arrive 13th on 29 points from 25 matches with a -13 goal difference, 37 conceded and just 24 scored — the leakiest defence of anyone in the top half of the table's shadow. Their recent road form underlines the problem: 1-1 at Santos, 3-1 beaten at Cruzeiro and that 5-1 collapse at home to this same opponent. Flamengo average 1.83 goals per game and Mirassol have conceded in each of their last four, so the home side should control the scoreboard, but Mirassol have found the net in all five of their last matches, which keeps a consolation goal live.
