Marítimo have had a tough run lately, losing three of their last five games, though they did manage a couple of wins away from home. Rio Ave, on the other hand, have been fairly steady, with just one loss in their last five matches and a good mix of draws and a big win. Looking at their recent meetings, the last two times they faced off, both sides scored and the games ended in draws with a few goals each.

This match looks very open and hard to call, as both teams seem fairly evenly matched based on their recent form and history. Given Rio Ave's slightly more consistent results and the fact that Marítimo have struggled recently, Rio Ave might have a small edge, but a draw wouldn't be surprising either.
