Coritiba Faces Mirassol in Round 26 Clash

The clash between Coritiba and Mirassol, scheduled for Sunday, September 6, at 11:00 AM, takes the spotlight as the Santa Catarina team is unbeaten in its last four matches and looks to consolidate its place in the top five, while the visitors from São Paulo attempt to pull away from the relegation zone.

Coritiba takes the field on a four-game unbeaten streak

Coxa sits in seventh place in the Campeonato Brasileiro with 37 points. Recent victories put the team close to the G-5 and heighten the importance of the clash against Mirassol in Round 26 of Série A.

Injuries and absences that could alter the lineup

In defense, Jacy suffered a right ankle sprain and is still experiencing discomfort, which may prompt head coach Fernando Seabra to rest him. If that happens, Maicon will form the center-back pairing with Rodrigo Moledo, who is already confirmed as a starter. Josué, who was sidelined with muscle fatigue, trained normally and is available. Tiago Cóser is serving a suspension for receiving his third yellow card, and Thiago Santos returns to the team, replacing Vitor Tissi.

Coritiba's probable lineup

The most likely lineup features Pedro Morisco in goal; JP Chermont, Rodrigo Moledo, Maicon (or Jacy), and Bruno Melo in defense; Thiago Santos, Sebastián Gómez, and Josué in midfield; and Lavega, Breno Lopes, and Pedro Rocha in attack.

Mirassol aims to pull away from relegation zone

With 25 points, Mirassol sits in 16th place and is fighting to create distance from the drop zone. Recent head-to-head records between the sides show two wins for Mirassol and one for Coritiba in their latest encounters.

Match details

The match will take place at Couto Pereira Stadium in Curitiba, officiated by referee André Luiz Skettino Policarpo Bento, assisted by Guilherme Dias Camilo and Felipe Alan Costa de Oliveira.
