Match situation 👇🏽

Rubro-Negro will only advance in regular time if they win by at least two goals.

A one-goal victory will take the decision to penalties.

Historical record in the Copa do Brasil 🆚 

This is the fifth time that Fla and Galo will face each other in the tournament.

In 2006, Rubro-Negro advanced to the semifinals after a 4-1 aggregate score - and would be champion against Vasco. 

In the 2014 semifinals, Galo guaranteed a great comeback after losing 2-0 at Maracanã and winning 4-1 in the return match. They went to the final and also took the trophy against their biggest rival.

In 2022, the duel was in the round of 16. With Fla advancing after a 3-2 aggregate score. They would also be champions.

Last year, the duel was in the final. And with two Rubro-Negro victories.

Atlético 🐓

Saraiva, recovered from a blow to the right calf, returns.

Same case with Guilherme Arana, who was suffering from a muscle injury in the left thigh.

Dudu also returned to being an option, since he is only released to play in the Copa do Brasil. 

The expectation is for the possible starting position of Alexsander.

The lineup has not been officially announced yet.
