Alright, let's delve into this cauldron of chaos that is the match up between Juventude and Mirassol. Now Juventude's goalkeeper, Marcos Miranda, is keeping things pretty tight with a 7.35 rating and 9 saves. Gustavo though, he's dancing on thin ice with a 6.50 rating and just 3 saves. Over on the Mirassol side, we've got Alex Muralha, a man who I'm convinced has a personal vendetta against footballs, with an 8 saves record and a 6.85 rating.
Let's chat about Mirassol's top brass for a minute. Danielzinho's got no goals to whip out at parties, but milling around with a 7.38 rating and 87.8% accurate pass rate makes him pretty reliable. Coming in close is Daniel Borges and Gabriel with 2 goals each, while Lucas Ramon and Cristian Renato both have impressive records too.
Pivoting to Juventude, we've got Gabriel Taliari leading the pack with a 7.50 rating and 2 goals scored. Alan Ruschel and Luis Mandaca can't be ignored either with their performances.
Now, let's glance at the season records, which are a bit like comparing apples to oranges when it comes to these teams. Mirassol with 1 win, 2 draws, and 1 loss contrast with Juventude's 2 wins and 2 losses.
The recent track record for these squads is as predictable as a coin toss. Mirassol bouncing back from a loss to Cruzeiro with a magnificent win against Grêmio. Meanwhile, Juventude was bulldozed by Flamengo lately, but then again, they savored victory against Ceará.
So, if you were betting your mother-in-law's holiday vacation fund on this, one might argue that Juventude has an edge. However, the way these teams have been playing, I'd be surprised if they weren't separated by more than a goal.
