Who has the edge? Quarter-final head-to-heads in Copa do Brasil 🇧🇷 | OneFootball

This Tuesday (12th) was the draw for the quarterfinal matchups of the 2025 Copa do Brasil.

Check out the order of home and away games and the possible semifinal pairings here.

And all the matchups have already happened in previous editions.

Including a DECISIVE clash between major rivals.

See below for the history of these matchups in the competition.

Fluminense 🆚 Bahia

They have only faced each other in the round of 16 in 2007.

After a 1-1 draw at Maracanã, Flu came back for a 2-2 draw with a goal from Soares in the 67th minute and advanced thanks to the number of goals scored in Salvador.

They went on to win their first title in the tournament after beating Athletico, Brasiliense, and defeating Figueirense in the final.

Botafogo 🆚 Vasco

Another matchup that will only be played for the second time in the competition's history.

It was Glorioso who knocked out Cruz-Maltino in the fourth round in 2020.

They won 1-0 in the first leg with a goal from Matheus Babi and held on to a 0-0 draw in the return leg.

They were eliminated in the next round by Cuiabá by the same aggregate score.

Cruzeiro 🆚 Atlético

This will be a tiebreaker after each rival has come out on top once.

The 2014 final was precisely between Galo and Raposa, with the Alvinegro winning their first title.

Dátolo and Luan scored in the 2-0 win at Arena Independência. Tardelli secured the 1-0 victory at Mineirão.

The Celeste got their revenge in 2019, in the quarterfinals.

They won 3-0 in the first leg. Lost 2-0 in the return, but advanced.

But Raposa stopped in the semis after losing 4-0 on aggregate to Inter, the future runner-up.

Corinthians 🆚 Athletico

This is the matchup that has happened the most times: three. And with a 100% success rate for Timão.

In 1997, the clash was in the quarterfinals.

Furacão won in São Paulo by 2-1. But lost 6-2 at home with standout performances from Mirandinha and Donizete.

Corinthians would be eliminated by the future champion Grêmio in the semis.

The rematch was in the same stage in the 2001 edition.

Another Alvinegro qualification in Curitiba: a 1-0 win (goal by Ewerthon) after a scoreless draw in São Paulo.

Grêmio would frustrate Corinthians again, as the final was between the two.

Lastly, in 2009, Corinthians knocked Athletico out in the round of 16.

They were down 3-0, but pulled back with goals from Cristian (86') and Dentinho (92').

And Ronaldo secured the 2-0 win in the return leg.

Timão would go on to eliminate Fluminense and Vasco before becoming champions against Internacional.
