⭐ Editor's Pick
Cruzeiro look like the favourites here thanks to home advantage, good form and more stable defensive play. Mirassol have improved in recent rounds, but away from home the team still face serious problems and rarely produce high-scoring performances.

Further support for a low-scoring outcome comes from Mirassol's statistics: under 2.5 goals has landed in 6 of their last 7 away matches. The Editor's Pick is under 2.5 goals. Predicted score - 1:0 to Cruzeiro.
