Cruzeiro vs Mirassol
📖 The Preview
Cruzeiro should edge this one at home, picking up a 2-1 win. They've been reasonably solid lately, winning six of their last ten, and the head-to-head record backs them up with no losses against Mirassol so far. The visitors are sitting 14th with nothing really to play for, which tends to show on the pitch. Mirassol will nick one back — both teams are expected to score — but Cruzeiro have enough about them at home to see it through and bank the three points.
