The good amount of state and national classics in the round of 16 is driven by the number of elite clubs. Since 2013, when the regulations changed to include those who play in the Libertadores, this is the edition with the highest number of Serie A teams.

Of the 16 teams, 14 are playing the Brasileirão – the exceptions are Bahia and Cruzeiro, both in Serie B. In the last edition (and also in 2014), six of the clubs in the eighth were not playing in the first division.
