📋 Atlético and Grêmio line-ups in for first Copa do Brasil final spot

📋 Atlético and Grêmio line-ups in for first Copa do Brasil final spot Atlético-MG and Grêmio face off this Saturday (7) at Arena MRV at 6 p.m. (Brasília time) in the second leg of the 2026 Copa do Brasil semifinals. Having won the first leg 2–0 in Porto Alegre, Grêmio can afford to lose by one goal and still advance to the final of the national tournament. Atlético, meanwhile, need to win by three goals to qualify. If the Minas Gerais side win by a two-goal margin, the tie will be decided on penalties. Both teams head into the clash after midweek defeats in the Brasileirão, having fielded reserve or rotated lineups. Grêmio lost 3–1 to Flamengo, while Atlético were beaten 1–0 by Botafogo. Compared with the first leg of the Copa do Brasil tie, Atlético coach Eduardo Domínguez brought in Everson, Natanael, Vitão, Igor Gomes and Alan Minda for Gabriel Delfim, Leonardo Duarte, Lyanco, Maycon and Victor Hugo, respectively. Grêmio coach Renato Portaluppi, meanwhile, made just one change, bringing in Kannemann for Gustavo Martins. With five titles (1989, 1994, 1997, 2001 and 2016), Grêmio are the second-most successful club in Copa do Brasil history and are dreaming of a sixth trophy to draw level with Cruzeiro. Atlético-MG, meanwhile, have won the tournament twice, in 2014 (when they beat Cruzeiro) and 2021 (the year they completed a domestic treble).  📋 See Atlético-MG's lineup 📋 See Grêmio's lineup This article was translated into English by Artificial Intelligence.
