Mirassol vs Santos FC: Prediction for the Match on July 20 2025

Prediction for the Brasileiro Betano game between Mirassol and Santos FC, which will take place at the Jose Maria de Campos Stadium. Thirteenth-placed Santos FC has disappointed greatly this season, and while their bottom placement has been traced to troubles in acquisition and unnecessary suspensions, Mirassol has managed to keep it together, ambitiously contending for points so they can frog-leap off the tenth spot towards more prestigious league seats. 

With a lot going behind the scenes in Santos Camp, it doesn't really look good for them today - except they defy odds and stick to their winning trend against Mirassol. A brief preview of the game, with a concise analysis of player form and team tactics is given below.

Mirassol: Form and Statistics

Last Five Matches: WDWWD

Mirassol’s seeming lucky streak over eight recent games may be truncated as they take on the invading strength of the Santos squad, who have always played for pride. Over eight recent games, Mirassol has only conceded one loss, leaving three wins and four stalemates in their wake. Momentum is heightened in Mirassol’s home camp as they have managed to stay the fourth highest scorers in the league. 

The 1-1 tie against Palmeiras shows how deft they have become on the pitch, refusing to allow defeat despite the early concession in the second half. 

With only two losses, Mirassol has impressed greatly this season, although a few gossip columns insist that they deserve better seats in the league, which obviously has been stunted by their high level of stalemates, instead of victories.

🏁 Mirassol: Lineup

Team: Mirassol’s pitch disposition is anchored on goal scoring, which to be fair has not been terrible this season. In fact, they are one of the most dependable teams in the league to produce goals in every match, and against every team. The continuous squad rotation by Coach Rafael helps reduce suspension possibilities, while giving everyone a chance to feature in the team’s success. Having said all that, Mirassol needs more victories, as they, alongside Vitoria, have the second-highest tie ratio, after Sao Paulo.

Players: The players of the team cannot be said to be individually brilliant, but they push for goals constructively. Reinaldo, who was awarded match of the match against Sport is expected to pull rabbits from his hat today, as they face very unusual guests.

🔖 Predicted Lineup(4-3-3): Walter, Reinaldo-Ribeiro-Victor-Ramon, Felipe-Moura-Danielzinho, Alesson-Gabriel-Carioca

👤 Head Coach: Rafel Guanaes

⛔ Out: Nil

Last Five Matches: LWLWW

Of all the teams in the Brasileiro, Santos has one of the most prideful fans, who sometimes overstep their bounds due to passion. During the week, they enjoyed a 1-0 win over table toppers CR Flamengo - courtesy of an 84th minute winner from Neymar Jnr. While the victory gave a temporary boost to the thirteenth league spot, it stunted Flamengo's grip on the first position, leaving the title open to Cruzeiro and RB Bragantino. 

Neymar had a stack of decent plays against Flamengo, disturbingly testing the opposing goalie skills until he finally squeezed a goal in, easing fears from fans who were beginning to consider his purchase as an over-spend.

Away from Home, the Pixies has two wins and one loss in the last three league games, beating Fortaleza [3-2] and Vitoria [1-0] after the 1-nil loss to SP Corinthians.

Santos last five league games has produced two losses and three wins. 

🏁 Santos FC: Lineup

Team: Having deployed the 4-2-3-1 that seems to be productive, Cleber Xavier may not have reason to tweak the lineup. His defense however faces the likelihood of possible suspension since the two centerbacks got yellow cards against Flamengo. 

Players: Although Neymar and Guillerheme had top level synergy against Flamengo, the real player of the game was goalie Gabriel Brazao, who constrained Flamengo goal threats and helped his teammate maintain parity till the advantage presented itself. With a couple of yellow card suspensions having three regular starters on the sidelines, caution will be applied by the players to help camouflage the obvious deficit in t

🔖 Predicted Lineup (4-2-3-1): Brazao, Escobar-Basso-Peres-Souza, Rincon-Rafael, Barreal-Neymar-Guilherme, Washington.

👤 Head Coach: Cleber Xavier

⛔ Out: Benjamin Rollheiser (Suspended), Joao Schmidt (Suspension), Joao Pedro Chermont (Suspension)

🎯 Mirassol vs Santos FC Match Prediction 20 July 2025

While Mirassol’s defenders deploy long balls towards the wings, the midfielders push their licks towards the opposing boxes while setting up the frontmen. Sometimes, the target men serve as false 9’s to the midfielder. In setpieces, they cannot be written off, even if their goal tally isn't struck much from setpieces. 

Momentum is brewing in Santos Camp and while the odds may not look too good for the hosts, I expect this to be a very explosive game, with cards and freekicks awarded on both sides of the scoresheet.

Below are my best predictions:

🔥 My prediction is a BTTS -Yes at a coefficient of 2.00 odds from 1xbet; This is largely because Santos will most likely score late, while Mirassol will push for a goal in the first half. 

🔥Our betting tip will be the Over 2.5 goal option at 2.39 odds from Betway; We expect a Santos Equaliser which will make Mirassol attempt a goal again.

🔥 Lastly, I will pick a Stalemate as my final choice at a coefficient of 3.10 odds from the Bet365 bookmaker. A stalemate because I do not see Santos scoring more than one goal against Mirassol. Also, the audacity of Mirassol to score early and try to hold on to victory is scary - unless Santos proves their worth.
