All eyes turn to the home ground on August 8, 2026 as Uberlandia welcome CSA in a Serie D encounter that promises tension, intrigue and no shortage of subplot. Manchester City face the K-League All-Stars in Seoul as part of their pre-season tour of Asia.

Predicting an outright winner is no easy task given how little separates the two sides on paper. Neither side holds a clear edge, and a 3-3 draw would be a fitting reflection of the balance between them. The ramifications of this result could ripple through the Serie D standings for weeks to come, regardless of who comes out on top. And Fonseca does not place too much weight on the decision of Roberto Martinez to omit him from the World Cup squad in favour of his Benfica team-mate Tomas Araujo.
