Trem vs Tocantinópolis - Serie D

There is a notable edge to this Serie D fixture. When Trem meet Tocantinópolis at the home ground on May 23, 2026, both will sense an opportunity to land a telling blow. That coronation came from City's £116m summer signing Elliot Anderson - and has been hotly debated in the build-up to the Manchester derby Super Sunday showdown at Old Trafford, which you can watch live on Sky Sports.

A glance at the Serie D table tells the story: Trem in 1st and Tocantinópolis in 5th, with positions to defend and places to climb. Trem have found a groove, WLWWL across their last five and operating at a win rate of 60% this season. Tocantinópolis have struggled to string results together away from home, WLLWW over their last five with a win rate of 30%. Goals could be in short supply or plentiful — Trem average 1.9 per game to Tocantinópolis's 1.8, and that gap may dictate the rhythm of the contest. Ipswich would be open to permanent offers for the winger, who has three years to run on his contract.

Tactically, the contest promises a fascinating contrast. Trem will look to impose their style on home soil, while Tocantinópolis are likely to have ideas of their own about how to gain the upper hand. Tottenham have changed their approach and are spending big on players who already know the Premier League.

All eyes will be on the league's leading marksman Michel Douglas, whose 7 goals this season make him the standout threat and a player capable of deciding the outcome on his own. The battle in midfield, where both sides look to control tempo, could prove the decisive arena. But with United in need of a new top central midfielder, an Express Sport poll of United supporters have voted for Tchouameni to be their next signing, with 32% respondents wanting the Frenchman to join.

Without the market to lean on, the contest feels genuinely open — and the outcome may come down to which side handles the occasion better. Backed by home advantage and superior form, Trem ought to prevail — a 3-2 victory looks the logical call. Whatever the outcome, the Serie D fixture promises a meaningful contest with real implications for both clubs. The 22-year-old was likely quite high up on the list of United's midfield targets and potentially even higher after Aurelien Tchouameni and Eduardo Camavinga blows.
