Bitesize Prediction: Mirassol vs Avai – 24/07/24

Competition: Brazil Serie B

Market: Mirassol win

Odds: 4/5 @ BetUS

Hoping to find a route into the promotion places, Mirassol will welcome Avai to the Jose Maria de Campos Maia in the early hours of Wednesday.

Starting with the hosts, making an immediate return to winning ways last weekend as they secured a 1-0 victory away at Coritiba, Mirassol find themselves at the heart of a promotion scrap. Getting Wednesday’s showdown underway sat just a single point adrift of skyrocketing into the top-four, Mozart’s men will be desperate to lay down another marker here. Despite enduring a minor blip last month, the Yellows have suffered just a single defeat from any of their previous five Serie B appearances. Opening July with a 1-0 win against CRB, the Sao Paulo-based outfit have also gained a fearsome reputation for their success on home soil. Including a stellar 3-0 romp against Guarani last month, Mirassol have remarkably collected 19 points from their last seven matchups at the Jose Maria de Campos Maia. It should also be highlighted, Wednesday’s hosts have not conceded a single goal in front of their own supporters since back on May 12th.

As for the visitors, continuing to tumble down the Serie B standings, Avai find themselves at the heart of a real crisis. Last seen over the weekend putting in another worrying performance as they slumped to a 1-0 loss at home against Ceara, the Santa Catarina-based outfit should be bracing themselves for a major challenge here. Opening July with another 1-0 defeat at the hands of Novorizontino, Wednesday’s guests have lost all of their previous three Serie B appearances by an aggregate score of 4-1. Crashing back down to earth following their May purple patch, Avai have also failed to muster a single win from any of their last six consecutive matchups. Notching just one-goal in over 300 minutes of action, Avai are rightfully pencilled in as a major underdog here. Two sides who find the moods in their respective camps at a polar opposite, we are backing a home victory for the promotion contenders in midweek.
