Mirassol vs SC Internacional Prediction 16.10.2025 | Brasileiro Serie A

Capitalizing on Botafogo RJ’s league collapse in the best possible way last time out, Mirassol rode the wave of home support to outclass the mighty Fluminense with a commanding 3-1 scoreline, propelling themselves into the top four of the table.

That impressive triumph not only put an end to their dull three-game winless run (D2 L1), but also reaffirmed Leao de Alta’s status as a dominant force on home soil, where they still boast an unbeaten record of eight wins and five draws.

It has undoubtedly been a dream season for Mirassol, who are competing in the Brazilian top flight for the first time in their history, and their enviable performances have allowed them to dream of a Copa Libertadores appearance, even though their stay within the top four will largely depend on how they perform at home.

First-choice goalkeeper Walter picked up his third booking of the season in the previous round, meaning he’ll serve a one-match suspension against SC Internacional, with 35-year-old Alex Muralha stepping in between the posts.

The next team to step onto Jose Maria de Campos Maia, one of the few pitches this season that hasn’t seen defeat, will be SC Internacional, whose unconvincing home campaign leaves the question open as to whether they will finish the season near the top or among the sides heading for relegation.

Positively, Colorado managed to shake off an uncomfortable run of four winless matches (D2 L2) thanks to a solid performance that earned them a comfortable two-goal victory over Botafogo RJ in the last round, not only building a healthy seven-point cushion above the drop zone but also closing the gap to just one point behind Corinthians, who currently occupy the final spot for continental qualification.

In order to at least take the consolation of finishing the Brasileiro Serie A season in one of the top 12 positions, SC Internacional will need to show more fighting spirit in their matches in enemy territory, as only two triumphs from this season's 12 top flight trips offer little cause for celebration.

Goalkeeper Sergio Rochet and his compatriot Alan Rodriguez will miss Thursday’s league clash as the Uruguayan duo struggle with a foot and thigh injury, while 30-year-old center-back Juninho is a doubt.
