For the fifth consecutive year, the teams meet in the Copa do Brasil. In the previous four years, each team came out on top twice, with "Mais Querido" winning in 2020 and 2022. Last year, Flamengo qualified for the semifinals of the competition with a stunning bicycle kick goal from Pedro, in a 1-0 victory at Arena da Baixada.
