Palmeiras, who have two titles of Copa do Brasil Sub-20 (2018 and 2022), will be looking to progress in the competition. The team has already participated in the Libertadores Sub-20, Copa SP de Futebol Júnior (Copinha), and Paulistão Sub-20 this season. They were recently vice-champions of Brasileirão Sub-20, losing the final to Vasco.
Naviraiense, on the other hand, is making their debut in the competition. The team was vice-champions of Sul-Mato-Grossense in 2025, losing to Santo Antônio-MS in the final. They have also participated in two competitions this year for the sub-20 category, including Copinha, where they lost all three group stage matches.
Palmeiras will be without Felipe Teresa due to his absence, but they have added Geovanne (ex-São Paulo) and Pablo Neri (ex-Cruzeiro) to their squad. The probable starting lineup for Palmeiras includes Kauan Lima, Luis Saboia, Pimenta, Benedetti, João Paulo, André Lucas, Kauã Nunes, Vinícius, Heittor, Erick Belé, and Fabiano.
