Corinthians visits Athletico-PR on Wednesday, August 27, at 9:30 PM (Brasília time), at the Arena da Baixada, for the first leg of the Copa do Brasil quarterfinals. It's worth remembering that, previously, the Black and White team eliminated Novorizontino (third phase) and Palmeiras (round of 16), winning all the games – five goals scored and none conceded.
In total, there are just over R$10 million accumulated in prizes in the national knockout tournament. In the 2025 season, Corinthians comes from a 3-2 victory over Vasco da Gama, at São Januário, in a match valid for the 21st round of the Brazilian Championship, in which the team had not won for six rounds.
