Mirassol vs Fluminense Prediction 09.10.2025 | Campeonato Serie A

As a team making their debut on the country’s biggest stage, there were fair reasons for doubt, but Mirassol not only adapted impressively to the elite level, they have also established themselves as one of the season’s most pleasant surprises.

Indeed, collecting 43 points from 26 matches is an impressive achievement for a side making its debut among Brazil’s elite, and what makes it even more remarkable is that they are level on points with Botafogo RJ, who currently hold the final Copa Libertadores spot.

Still, it cannot be denied that the momentum of Leao de Alta Araraquarense has faded in recent weeks, with only a single point taken from their last three league outings, making it essential to regroup quickly if they want to get their top-four chase back on track.

Coach Rafael Guanaes will have to make do without Jose Aldo, who serves a one-match suspension for an accumulation of yellow cards, while Matheus Sales and Edson Carioca are both sidelined through injury.

After wrapping up last season in a modest 13th place, Fluminense have shown a much greater sense of determination and ambition this time, collecting 38 points from 25 matchweeks, which places them in seventh position.

The push for a top-four finish and a Copa Libertadores spot has been fully reignited thanks to a remarkable run of form, as a convincing 3-0 dismantling of Atletico Mineiro brought Luis Zubeldia’s side their tenth point from the last four top-flight outings and lifted them up the table.

Under the guidance of their new coach on the touchline, Fluminense have not only improved their results but also rediscovered their attacking edge, as Zubeldia has overseen his side scoring at least twice in each of his first three games.

Midfield pair Nonato and Ganso remain in the process of recovering from their injuries, while right winger Kevin Serna will miss the clash with Mirassol due to a one-match suspension for yellow card accumulation.
