Flamengo Host Mirassol at Estadio Jornalista Mário Filho (Maracanã)

Match Analysis

The gap between these two sides is stark. Flamengo's overall rating of 98 towers 34 points above Mirassol's 64, and that disparity widens further in attack, where Flamengo scores 100 to Mirassol's 53—a 47-point lead. Flamengo also dominates on consistency, leading 56 to 15. The only dimension where the margin tightens is defense: Flamengo's 90 beats Mirassol's 82 by just 8 points. The market sees much the same picture. It prices Flamengo at 73 per cent to Mirassol's 10 per cent, which points the same way as the ratings do. Both strongly favor the home side. The head-to-head record backs them up: across three meetings, Flamengo has won twice and drawn once, while Mirassol has never won. The most recent clash ended 5-1 to Flamengo. What strikes me is how differently the two teams perform depending on venue. Flamengo's home record over their last five—4 wins and a draw—is markedly stronger than their away form, which shows 2 wins, 2 draws and a loss. Mirassol's split is more extreme: they've won neither of their last five away matches, taking only 2 draws and 3 losses, yet at home they've managed 2 wins alongside 2 draws. That's genuinely their brighter patch. Still, even playing in front of their own crowd against a Flamengo side whose consistency rating barely exceeds half-strength, Mirassol haven't found a way past them before. Their drama rating of 35 suggests this won't be the day they break that cycle.
