ABC take on the visitors Mirassol in the round 32 match of Brazilian Serie B. The match will be played on Wednesday, October 11th at Estadio Maria Lamas Farache (Natal).
ABC, despite their loud nickname (they even have a more impressive one - the most expensive), are only strong at the level of their state, which is quite modest in football terms. In the Rio Grande do Norte championship, the team has reached the closing stages of the top ten championship titles and has repeatedly won cups of the same scale. At their peak in the 1970s and 1980s, they managed to climb to the top division of the country. However, in recent years, the team has been languishing in the third division, from which they only managed to return in 2022, finishing in second place. It seems like they are back for a very short time. Even after breaking a series of losses with a 2-0 victory over Ponte Preta, the newcomer remains at the bottom of the league table, trailing even their nearest neighbor - they need to surpass at least three teams. For now, they can only manage a 0-0 draw against Chapecoense, another bottom dweller, in the last round.

Mirassol continues its progress. The Lions of the Araçatuba Highway were founded in 1925 but played at an essentially amateur level for a very long time. It was only under the current president, Edson Antonio Hermenegildo, that they managed to improve and ultimately win the national Serie C last season. Furthermore, the newcomer has a very real chance to move up to a higher division in just one year. Four teams get a direct ticket to Serie B, and so far, the trailing behind the quartet doesn't seem insurmountable. Their form in the autumn has been impressive: 4 wins in the last 5 matches.
Last season, there were all three possible outcomes - a victory for each team and a draw. In June, Mirassol won 3-2 at home. The visitors still have something to fight for, but they need to win. We recommend betting on the away team's victory.
Prediction for the match: Mirassol to win.
