Which team has better recent form?

Marítimo hold the clear form edge. Their 58 rating against Penafiel's 38.4 underlines a significant gap. A two-match winning streak adds momentum, while Penafiel have been inconsistent, winning three but losing two of their last five. The visitors' defensive solidity makes them the stronger side coming into this fixture.

Will there be over 2.5 goals in this match?
