Cruzeiro vs Mirassol is available to watch live via the broadcasters listed below. Fanatiz offers a live stream option for international viewers, while Premiere carries the match for audiences in Brazil.
Cruzeiro host Mirassol in Serie A, with Artur Jorge’s side looking to build on a run of form that has seen them pick up points against strong opposition in Brazil’s top flight.
Cruzeiro sit seventh in the Serie A table and arrive into this fixture with momentum. Back-to-back wins over Coritiba and Internacional in the league underline their capacity to grind out results on the road and at home, though a defeat to Botafogo RJ showed vulnerabilities remain.
Mirassol, sitting 14th, are fighting to put distance between themselves and the lower reaches of the table. Rafael Guanaes’s team has shown resilience, picking up draws against Vasco da Gama and Gremio in the Copa do Brasil, but consistency in the league has been harder to come by.
These two sides know each other well. Their three most recent meetings have all produced drawn or tight results, including a 2-2 draw earlier this year and a 1-1 stalemate in August 2025, suggesting neither side finds it straightforward to dominate the other.
For Cruzeiro, home advantage will count. A win here would strengthen their position in the top half and keep pressure on the clubs above them. Mirassol will be looking to take something from the game and arrest a run that has produced just one win in their last five across all competitions.
