Vitória host Athletico-PR in Copa do Brasil last-16 second leg on Thursday | OneFootball

Vitória host Athletico-PR in the Copa do Brasil last-16 second leg at Barradão, Salvador, on Thursday 06 at 20:00 Brasília time, seeking to overturn a 2-0 first-leg deficit.

According to Coluna Do Fla, the match will be broadcast on SporTV, Premiere and GETV (YouTube).

Jair Ventura’s team are four games without a win, with three straight defeats, the latest coming in the first leg of this tie. Odair Hellmann’s Athletico are unbeaten in eight and have the best record among Série A sides since the World Cup restart, with three wins and one draw from four.

Having won the first leg, Athletico can afford to lose by a single goal and still reach the quarter-finals. Vitória must win by three or more to advance, while a two-goal home victory would take it to penalties. The team that progresses also secures a R$ 4 million payout.

Flamengo are out of the Copa do Brasil after a fifth phase defeat to Vitória, so their focus is now on the Brasileirão and the Libertadores. They host Vitória in the league on Sunday 09 at the Maracanã, with kick-off at 19:30 Brasília time and coverage on SporTV and Premiere.
