Cruzeiro carry a record of eight wins, six draws and seven defeats, with a goals record of 27 scored and 30 conceded. Their most recent outing brought a 1-3 home defeat to Atletico-MG, though they took nine points from their last five matches overall.

Mirassol's campaign reads six wins, five draws and nine defeats, with 23 goals scored and 27 conceded. They claimed six points from their last five matches, a run that includes a notable away win at Internacional and a home victory over Corinthians. They head into Sunday on the back of a 1-0 defeat at Sao Paulo.
The two sides met earlier in 2026, drawing 2-2 at Mirassol's ground in February, which stands as the only head-to-head reference point available. Cruzeiro's position in the top third of the table and Mirassol's place in the bottom third shape the context of the match, with a seven-point gap between them as it stands at kick-off.
Kick-off is scheduled for 20:00 UTC on Sunday, 9 August 2026.
