In the Brazil Cup quarter-final on September 11, 2025, the return leg between Corinthians and Atlético Paranaense will be held. The home team will advance even in the event of a draw.
Our prediction for the Corinthians - Atlético Paranaense match
The team from "Neo Kimika Arena" managed to collect 56 points last season. That was enough to secure seventh place. This result sent them into the Copa Libertadores qualifiers, and eventually, after proceeding through the CVS, they lost to an experienced Barcelona Guayaquil. In the Copa Sudamericana, the Brazilians gathered eight points - the same as América de Cali, but lost out for second place on additional criteria. There was also a noticeable decline in Serie A. Even a decent run allowed them only to climb to twelfth place. This makes success in the cup all the more important.
The current visitors managed to accumulate only 42 points in 2024. Thus, from seventeenth place, the ambitious club was relegated to the country's second division. And even there they have not been dazzling: an equal number of wins and losses, a negative goal difference, and a mid-table position - currently, with 33 points, they stand eleventh.
Meanwhile, the club from Curitiba advanced in the Posu-Alegria Cup against Guarani de Baje and Brusque. In the previous round, they eliminated São Paulo on penalties after a win-loss exchange - 1-2 and 1-0. But later at home, they succumbed to the current opponent. Prior to that, Dorival Junior's charges dealt with Novorizontino, and in the round of 16, they defeated Palmeiras twice.
