Vitoria vs Mirassol – News and Probable Lineups

The Barradao stadium is set to be the venue for the encounter between Vitoria and visiting Mirassol during the seventh round of the Brasileiro on Sunday.

Currently sitting in 13th place with seven points, Vitoria has managed just one victory in their last five league fixtures. On the flip side, Mirassol has yet to win in their last five rounds, placing them at 15th with six points.

Match overview

Vitoria has participated in 17 matches in 2026, achieving a win rate of only 35% (six victories, six draws, and five defeats).

Leao da Barra has managed to net 22 goals in these matches, but they have also alarmingly conceded 17, including 10 goals during their six top-flight encounters.

This season, Vitoria’s performance at home has been more encouraging, as they have clinched five wins, two draws, and two defeats in nine home matchups, remaining unbeaten in their last four games at home.

Head coach Jair Ventura holds the benefit of having a game in hand against nine teams ranked above them, which could prove crucial as only four points separate them from seventh-placed Gremio.

Conversely, Mirassol’s campaign has been unexpected as they were the standout performers last season, finishing fourth despite having only gained promotion in the previous campaign.

This achievement granted the Sao Paulo side their first opportunity to compete in the Copa Libertadores, where they have been drawn against LDU de Quito, Lanus, and Always Ready in Group G after Thursday’s draw.

Leao Caipira has faced significant challenges this season, as they have only secured three victories in 14 games during 2026.

Under coach Rafael Guanaes, they have also drawn five matches and lost six this year, scoring 18 goals and allowing 17 in return.

The manager’s squad has struggled away, failing to win their last three away matches, and they have suffered defeat in two of their last three fixtures on the road.
