In this block, Cruz-Maltino would avoid a confrontation with teams that are in the Libertadores and would face opponents that are theoretically easier
Last Wednesday’s surprise results benefited Vasco, who, if he beats ABC at 21:30 in São Januário, will be in pot 1, which will feature the top 16 of the CBF National Club Ranking, among those classified for the third phase of the Copa do Brasil. Cruz-Maltino occupies 22nd place, but six teams that were ahead of them were eliminated. Juventude and Cuiabá said goodbye in the first stage, and yesterday Goiás, Red Bull Bragantino, Ceará and Atlético-GO were eliminated.
With the results, Vasco became the 16th best classified among the teams that are alive in the Copa do Brasil, but the classification against ABC needs to be confirmed. If eliminated, Coritiba will inherit their place in Pot 1. In this block are Libertadores clubs, such as Flamengo, Palmeiras, Athletico-PR, Atlético-MG, Fluminense, Fortaleza, Corinthians and Internacional, and other big teams, such as São Paulo , Santos, América-MG, Bahia, Botafogo and Cruzeiro, already guaranteed in the third phase. Like Cruz-Maltino, Grêmio must confirm the standings this Thursday.
In the third phase of the Copa do Brasil, the teams from pot 1 will face the teams from pot 2, mostly made up of smaller teams. Matches will be decided by drawing lots. CRB, Náutico, Remo, Tombense, Brasil de Pelotas, Paysandu, Ituano, Botafogo-SP, Volta Redonda, Ypiranga-RS, Nova Iguaçu, Maringá and Águia de Marabá are already guaranteed in this block.
