Bitesize Prediction: Mirassol vs Operario – 27/07/24

Competition: Brazil Serie B

Market: Both teams to score – No

Odds: 2/3 @ 1xBet

Two sides who are looking to skyrocket their way into the promotion places, Mirassol will welcome Operario to Sao Paulo on Saturday night.

Starting with the hosts, missing out on what they had billed as a golden opportunity earlier in the week as they eventually had to settle for a 0-0 stalemate at home against Avai, Mirassol are seeking some recent stability. Despite claiming a 1-0 win away at Coritiba last weekend, Mozart’s side have won just a pair of their previous eight Serie B appearances – a run that stems back to a 1-0 victory against Goias on June 16th. Although the Yellows might have recorded a clean sheet in three of their previous four second-tier appearances, the Sao Paulo-based outfit are seeking a clinical edge in the final third. In fact, Mirassol have failed to notch more than a single strike in eight of their last nine outings. However, it is worth highlighting, Mozart’s side have remarkably not shipped a single goal in front of their own supporters since way back on May 12th.

As for the visitors, embarking on what has been a real Serie B romp since making their second-flight return this season, Operario have continued to receive a string of plaudits. Remarkably opening up this weekend’s fixtures sat within touching distance of breaking into the promotion places, the Parana-based outfit should find the mood in their camp at a red-hot high. However, forced to settle for a 0-0 stalemate at home against Novorizontino earlier in the week, Rafael Guanaes’ men are seeking some recent stability. In fact, Saturday’s guests have picked up just a single victory from any of their previous five Serie B matchups. It should also be noted, Guanaes’ side have suffered back-to-back defeats away from the Germano Kruger this month. Two sides who are only operated in the Serie B standings by their goal difference, we could be set for a cagey affair this weekend.

Bet: Both teams *not* to score at Mirassol vs Operario 2/3 for Saturday’s Brazil Serie B matchup @ 1xBet
