Mirassol vs Botafogo: Prediction and odds on the Brasileirão match on November 02, 2025

Mirassol and Botafogo are both fighting for a place in the Copa Libertadores, and at the moment, the home side is in a better position.

Mirassol: Form and statistics

Mirassol secured its fourth consecutive league victory, defeating Sport 2-1 on the road. At the Ilha do Retiro stadium, Matheusinho's red card in the 24th minute made Mirassol's task easier, as Negueba opened the scoring four minutes later. Even with ten men, Sport equalized in the 38th minute with a beautiful header from Derik following a set piece. Mirassol's winning goal came early in the second half, in the 47th minute, by Guilherme. Rafael Guanaes' team is in great form, exuding confidence at this decisive moment of the season. Mirassol is in fourth place with 55 points, six more than Bahia, which is in fifth place. The top five teams qualify directly for the Copa Libertadores group stage, and there is no doubt that Mirassol will fight to achieve this feat until the last round. At the moment, the Little Lion is even threatening third place, as Cruzeiro has 57 points after three draws in the previous four games. The next match against Botafogo will be tough, but Mirassol hopes to maintain its unbeaten streak at home, at least.

Mirassol: Lineup

Veteran Reinaldo has been Mirassol's best player this season, but will not be able to play against Botafogo. The left back and the team's top scorer with 11 goals is suspended.

🔖Mirassol starting lineup (4-3-3)

Walter – Daniel Borges, João Victor, Jemmes, Felipe Jonatan – Danielzinho, Neto Moura, Guilherme – Negueba, Alesson, Chico da Costa

⛔️Out: Edson Carioca, Matheus Sales (injured), Reinaldo (suspended)

👤Head Coach: Rafael Guanaes

Botafogo: Form and statistics

Botafogo conceded a draw at home to Santos and lost sixth place to city rival Fluminense. However, it's not all bad news for Davide Ancelotti's men, as they now know that whoever finishes seventh in the league will also qualify for the Copa Libertadores. Botafogo can thank Flamengo and Palmeiras, as the two giants secured their places in the Copa Libertadores final, opening up another spot for Brazilian teams in South America's biggest club competition. In the last game against Santos, Botafogo's defensive weaknesses resurfaced, and until the team regains its solidity, it will be hard to achieve good results. The Cariocas scored the fastest goal in the Brasileirão through Correa after 22 seconds, but even so, they failed to win at home. The Argentine player scored two goals in the first half, but Botafogo's defensive errors allowed the visitors to leave the Nilton Santos with a 2-2 draw. Botafogo needs a good result against Mirassol to avoid Vasco da Gama, which is five points behind, closing in.

Botafogo: Lineup

Savarino, Correa, and Marçal joined the long list of injured players.

🔖Botafogo starting lineup (4-2-3-1) 

Léo Linck – Vitinho, David Ricardo, Alexander Barboza, Cuiabano – Marlon Freitas, Danilo – Artur, Santiago Rodríguez, Jeffinho – Chris Ramos

⛔️Out: Savarino, Correa, Marçal, Montoro, Kaio, Jordan Barrera, Neto, Nathan, Matheus Martins, Bastos (injured), Allan (suspended)

👤Head Coach: Davide Ancelotti

Mirassol vs Botafogo match prediction 02 November 2025

Both teams are fighting for a spot in the Copa Libertadores, and at the moment, Mirassol is well-positioned to achieve this, occupying fourth place. Botafogo is in seventh, a position that grants access to the qualifying round. However, to get a ticket to the group stage, the Cariocas must finish in the top five. Mirassol is yet to lose at home and is on a four-game winning streak, so it is the favorite even without the influential Reinaldo, who will not be playing. I'm going to bet on a Double Chance in favor of Mirassol with a maximum of three goals scored.
