Mirassol vs Fortaleza Prediction: Mirassol will fight hard

Mirassol FC will host a Série A match for the first time in its history. Mirassol is a small city of 65,000 inhabitants in the north of São Paulo state, 450 km from the capital. The fans are excited, and the match with Fortaleza will be a very special occasion. Fortaleza is one of the best teams in Brazil, but the Cearenses can't underestimate their opponent and should expect a tricky game.

Mirassol

The Lion lost in its Brasileirão debut 2-1 against Cruzeiro in Belo Horizonte. Mirassol started badly and, after 22 minutes, was already 2-0 down with goals from Dudu and Gabriel Barbosa. Rafael Guanes' men were a little nervous and paid the price. Lucas Ramon reduced the deficit in the 45th minute, but a few moments earlier, Mirassol had missed a penalty. The visitors had more possession in the second half but failed to create great chances. With the support of its fans, Mirassol could feel more comfortable and perhaps collect its first points.

Fortaleza

It's been a bittersweet week for Fortaleza. In the first round of the Serie A, the Ceará side couldn't have wished for a better start as it beat Fluminense 2-0 at home, with goals from Lucero and Tinga. However, a few days later, again at the Arena Castelão, Fortaleza suffered a heavy 3-0 defeat against Racing in the first match of the Copa Libertadores group stage. Vojvoda's team hasn't been doing too well since the season started, and it looked like the victory over Fluminense could be a turning point. After the defeat against the Argentines, the worries have returned, and the team is under pressure again.
