Grêmio takes the field this Tuesday (21) at Arena, at 7:30 p.m. (Brasília time), for its debut in the 2026 Copa do Brasil.

Owner of five titles in the tournament, the Tricolor Gaúcho begins its quest for a sixth crown by facing Confiança in the fifth round.

The second leg is scheduled by the CBF for May 14 (Thursday), at Batistão, in Sergipe.

The team from Sergipe, in fact, has already gotten past Tombense (2-0 in the third round) and Vila Nova (5-3 on penalties, after a 0-0 draw in regular time, in the fourth round). 

Compared to the last match (2-0 for Cruzeiro in the Brasileirão), coach Luís Castro opted to start Viery and Gabriel Mec in place of Wagner Leonardo and Noriega, respectively, for Grêmio.
