Mirassol Futebol Clube

And you're probably sick of me talking about the Brazilian relegation battle, and I'm gonna talk about it once more.

It is Mirassol in 15th versus 17th Internacional.

Internacional still in the relegation zone on 32 points, just one point ahead.

Mirassol with eight games to go.

I think there's just gonna be goals galore in the last eight rounds involving the 10-plus teams that are still heavily involved in this relegation scrap, and these two are well in it.

Now, these two teams have played three times in the last 18 months since Mirassol's promotion, and the earlier fixture saw Mirassol win two-one.

All three games, all three head to heads, both teams to score has landed.

Both teams to score has landed in four of five Mirassol's games and four of five Internacional's games, and four out of five of Internacional's last away games as well.

It got even worse.

He went to Mirassol, and now they need him.

Like, what do you need Chiquinho for? He even played against Coritiba today.

Man, like, that's, like, something I don't understand about Brazilian football.

It was the Copa do Brasil quarterfinals, where Grêmio eliminated Inter, and now you knew, "Okay, it's time for revenge.

Maybe he, they won't get the win, but they'll at least push for a draw," and that's exactly what Inter got, and I think Inter fans are happy.

A point above Grêmio, 17th place, tied with points with Corinthians, a point less than Mirassol that are 15th.

Things can change for Internacional depending on who they play, when they play, and the fact that they don't have to worry about any other competition like Copa do Brasil, which we have Grêmio playing in.

Other games in the lead up to this have been full of goals as well.

A 3-3 draw at home against Athletico Paranaense, 2-1 defeat against Mirassol, and 3-2 win against Remo.

So just absolutely just caked in goals at the moment, and the defense is just all over the shop.

Whereas Botafogo, look, loads of problems off the pitch, which are heavily influencing what's going on on it.

Let's start with, uh, now just let me go back to the running order that I'd done.

Uh, Red Bull Bragantino, so Bragantino, sorry, against, uh, Mirassol.

I think we needed a few Red Bulls during this international break, didn't we?

[laughs]

So it's kind of fitting that we start with them.

Here, minus 148 favorites against Mirassol, plus 360 for them, and the tie at plus 285.

Y- y- I think you said this is quite a difficult game.

There was a player prop you did like, but it's been backed in massively.

Two points behind that.

Cruzeiro, Atlético Mineiro, Santos, Coritiba, Red Bull Bragantino, São Paulo, Botafogo, Vitória, Corinthians, Mirassol, Vasco da Gama, Grêmio, Internacional.

Go- them going down would be...

You know, there's been a couple of big relegations recently.
