The Copa do Brasil semifinals feature two matchups with teams in very different situations in the Brazilian Championship. On one side, Atlético Mineiro is competing for a spot in the Libertadores qualification zone, while their opponent, Grêmio, is fighting to avoid falling into the relegation zone. O Galo came out on top against Cruzeiro in the quarterfinals, while the Tricolor Gaúcho surprised everyone by eliminating Internacional.
In the other semifinal, Palmeiras continues its polarized battle with Flamengo for the title of the points-based Brasileirão. Meanwhile, Vasco is trying to escape the Z-4 in the standings. Despite the difference in their campaigns in the national championship, the Cruz-Maltino has a surprising record in the Copa do Brasil knockout stages, having achieved superior results to the alviverde in recent editions of the tournament.
The first and second leg matches are scheduled to take place between November 1st and 8th. The CBF will be responsible for drawing the home advantage and announcing the exact dates, times, and venues for the matches in both semifinal brackets.
