Atlético PR vs Mirassol: match statistics

I back the home win: Atlético PR has a clear advantage at their stadium — they have won 67% of home matches, have a +10 home goal difference and average 1.78 goals scored while conceding only 0.67 per game. Mirassol records 71% losses on the road, has zero clean sheets (0%) and concedes 1.71 goals on average, and in 43% of away games fails to score. The hosts average 5.89 shots on target with a 13% conversion rate, whereas Mirassol manages only 3.14 shots on target and 9% conversion, giving Atlético the edge in both quality and quantity of chances. It is worth noting Atlético’s poorer form over the last 5 matches — just 3 goals and 1.2 points per game — versus Mirassol’s 6 goals and 1.8 points per game, which narrows the home advantage. Overall, however, the hosts’ defensive solidity and superiority in created opportunities argue in favor of an Atlético PR victory, although a draw or a narrow away win remains possible.

Statistical analysis indicates BTTS is more likely: seasonal BTTS rates are 67% for Atlético PR and 57% for Mirassol, averaging ~62%, above the league level of 59%. Clean sheet chances are low: Atlético has only 11% of matches without conceding, Mirassol 0%. Seasonal goals conceded averages are 1.22 (home) and 1.71 (away), suggesting regular goals conceded. In terms of chance quality Atlético has xG 1.78 with xG against 1.34, while Mirassol has xG 1.27 with xG against 1.68 — the home attack faces a defense vulnerable to goals, and the away attack also has opportunities against the home defense. In the last 5 matches Atlético recorded BTTS in 40% of games and Mirassol in 60%; additionally the hosts average 16.44 shots and 6.11 on target versus Mirassol’s 11.43 and 3.14, demonstrating goal opportunities for both sides. Considering the seasonal BTTS average of ~62%, the very low clean sheet rates (11% and 0%) and supporting xG/shots data, I assign 67% probability to BTTS - Yes and 33% to No Goal.

Expected goals based on xG are 1.73 for Atlético PR (attacking xG 1.78 vs Mirassol defensive xG 1.68) and 1.31 for Mirassol (attacking xG 1.27 vs Atlético defensive xG 1.34), totaling ≈3.04 goals. A Poisson model with λ=3.04 yields ~80.7% probability for Over 1.5 goals, ~58.6% for Over 2.5 and ~36.2% for Over 3.5, which aligns with season Over 2.5 rates around 56–57% and Over 1.5 at 67%/57% for home/away. High percentages of both teams scoring (67% for Atlético and 57% for Mirassol), low clean sheets (11% for the home team, 0% for the away team) and a clear advantage in shots on target 6.11 vs 3.14 indicate a strong likelihood of goals from both sides. Additionally, in the last 5 matches Mirassol scored 6 goals (1.2 avg) versus Atlético’s 3 goals (0.6 avg), increasing the risk of at least two goals in the match. Therefore I recommend Over 1.5 as the strongest signal (probability ≈81%), while the 2.5 line remains more balanced (~59% for Over).

Atlético PR are favorites to lead at the break: the hosts led at half-time in 4 matches (44%), scoring on average 0.78 goals by half-time and conceding only 0.22, while Mirassol led at the break in only 14% of cases. Additionally Atlético kept a clean sheet at half-time in 78% of home games, confirming their strength in the first half. However, the second half is more goal-prone: the hosts’ average goals after the break is 1.44 and 89% of matches feature at least one goal after the interval, and the hosts conceded as many as 6 goals in minutes 76–90, which increases the chance of a turnaround. Atlético create more chances (xG 1.78 and 6.11 shots on target on average) than Mirassol (xG 1.27 and 3.14 shots on target), but the visitors have higher finishing efficiency (9% vs 7%) and have won 60% of their last 5 matches, so they can recover a deficit after the break. Considering Atlético’s advantage at half-time (44%) along with their shooting activity and frequent second-half goals, the strongest signal is the hosts leading at half-time and a draw after 90 minutes (1/X).
