Mirasol — Fluminense : Match Preview and Prediction for October 09,2025

Mirasol’s Current Form and Challenges

Mirasol approaches this home game against the Club World Cup semifinalist Fluminense with a significantly less optimistic outlook. The “Yellow-Greens” have failed to secure a victory for their fans in three consecutive Serie A rounds. Just recently, Rafael Guanaes’ team suffered a collapse in the final 20 minutes against Corinthians (0-3), allowing Fluminense to close the gap in the race for a top-6 finish and qualification for the Copa Libertadores.

Home Team Doubts and Absences

Considering their recent dip in form, Mirasol looks like a questionable favorite for this match, despite the advantage of playing on home turf. For the hosts, José Aldo (card accumulation), Edson, and Lucas Ramon will be unavailable against Fluminense. Additionally, Da Silva and Matheus Salles are currently listed as doubtful.

Fluminense’s Recent Performance and Coaching Change

Club World Cup semi-finalist Fluminense found themselves without a coach just two weeks ago. This followed a quarter-final defeat to Lanús in the Copa Sudamericana (0-1, 1-1), despite the “Red-Greens” having overcome their post-Club World Cup crisis and maintaining a good pace in Serie A.

Positive Momentum Under New Management

Overall, even after Renato Gaúcho’s departure, with Argentine Zubeldía at the helm, the “Red-Greens” have collected 7 points in 3 Serie A rounds. Before their trip to Mirasol, Fluminense impressively routed Atlético Mineiro 3-0 at home, thanks to goals from Serna, Keno, and Samuel Xavier.

Fluminense’s Unbeaten Streak and Key Absences

The visitors are currently on a four-match unbeaten run in the Brazilian championship. The coaching change has not yet negatively impacted the team, which is fighting for a Copa Libertadores spot (currently 7th, five points shy of the desired zone with a game in hand). Therefore, Fluminense should certainly not be underestimated against Mirasol. For this encounter, experienced midfielder Ganso will miss out due to injury, and Serna, the Colombian who scored in the last round, is suspended due to card accumulation.
