Uberlandia vs ABC - Serie D

A fascinating Serie D chapter awaits on August 22, 2026 when Uberlandia take on ABC at the home ground — two sides with plenty to play for and everything to prove. The 25-year-old suffered the injury after an inadvertent clash with his own team-mate as he and Mathias Olivera both challenged for possession late in the first half.

A share of the spoils looks the most probable outcome, with neither side holding a decisive edge — a 2-2 draw feels like a fitting result.
