HOW ARE VASCO AND FLUMINENSE COMING INTO THIS?

Vasco eliminated Paysandu in the fifth round of the Copa do Brasil to reach the Round of 16 with a 4-2 aggregate score. Meanwhile, Fluminense got past Operário-PR in the previous round by 2-1 at the Maracanã, after a goalless draw in Ponta Grossa.

WHAT ABOUT ATLÉTICO-MG vs. JUVENTUDE?

Atlético eliminated Ceará on penalties in the fifth round, making their competition debut. Now, the black-and-white side is counting on the strength of Arena MRV, where they have lost only once this season, to build an advantage in the first leg of the Round of 16.

Meanwhile, Juventude got past Guaporé, Tuna Luso, Águia de Marabá, and São Paulo from the second round onward to reach this stage. Even so, the club from Rio Grande do Sul trusts in the defensive solidity it has shown in Série B to return to Alfredo Jaconi still alive, a venue where it has suffered only two defeats this year.

HOW ARE SANTOS AND REMO COMING INTO THIS?

Santos entered in the fifth round and secured their place in the Round of 16 after eliminating Coritiba with a goalless draw at home and a 2-0 win at Couto Pereira. Meanwhile, Remo began their campaign in the previous round and knocked out Bahia with two wins, 3-1 at Fonte Nova and 2-1 at Mangueirão.

AND FLAMENGO?

Five-time champions Flamengo made an early exit from the Copa do Brasil after losing 2-0 to Vitória at Barradão. Despite defending the 2-1 advantage built in the first leg at the Maracanã, the Rio club suffered the setback in Salvador and was knocked out of the national competition. Therefore, even with more possession and attacking volume during the fifth round, Mengão wasted chances, conceded goals to Erick and Luan Cândido, and saw their run in the tournament come to an end.
