Ah, the classic Brazil Série A matchup of Mirassol vs Santos. Let's crunch the numbers, shall we?
We lack goalie information for Santos, quite the predicament. However, for Mirassol, the net is guarded by well-rated Walter, making an average of 2 saves a game. A hard wall to break for Santos.
Take a look at Mirassol's roster and you're sure to notice standouts like João Victor with an impressive 7.80 rating and 88.6% accurate pass%, followed closely by Neto Moura--check his 89.5% accurate pass%, will ya! Reinaldo, though his accurate pass % drops considerably to 65.5%, be aware he is another player to reckon with a 7.0 rating.
On Santos' side, our data got lost, fell off a boat or something...all very mysterious. Hopefully, they do have somebody playing for them.
In the regular season, Santos hasn't fared too well with 3 victories versus 7 losses while managing to hold their ground in 2 draws. Compare that to Mirassol's balanced 4-win, 5-draw, 2-loss record, and you start seeing a pattern like a tan line on a British tourist.
In recent encounters, Mirassol managed 2 wins, 2 draws, and a loss while Santos gathered a win, a draw, and 3 losses. Not the prettiest dance card for Santos, but beauty comes in many forms... including pity I suppose.
Given the tangibles and intangibles (and more than a few unmentionables), I’ve got to tip my hat towards Mirassol. On a sunny day, assuming their Uber didn’t take the scenic route and Santos remembered to bring their football boots...
