Each bar is the model's chance of that card total — the last bar is that count or more. Bars right of the marked line are Over, left are Under.
The mathematical model favors a draw, but Maritimo's elite season away PPG of 2.13 and their 50% clean sheet rate in the last 10 matches suggest they can withstand the pressure. Referee A. Nobre is exceptionally strict, and with both teams averaging over 2.6 cards per game, the disciplinary record of experienced defenders like Romain Correia will be more reliable than the youthful exuberance of the hosts. Expect a low-scoring affair where the visitors' superior xG difference of 0.70 eventually tells.
Under 2.5 goals is supported by Maritimo conceding just 0.73 goals per game in recent form and keeping clean sheets in half of their last 10 matches.

This matchup pits Maritimo's elite defensive structure against Benfica B's high-variance home form. Maritimo enters with a significantly superior xG conceded per game of 0.86 compared to the hosts' 1.49, a foundation that has helped them secure 6 wins in their last 10 league outings. Though Benfica B has been strong at the Seixal campus, winning 6 of their last 10 home matches including a 3-0 demolition of Feirense, their recent 0-3 away loss at Oliveirense highlighted vulnerabilities when forced to chase the game. Maritimo will look to Raphael Guzzo to dictate the tempo and starve João Veloso of the ball, while Carlos Daniel provides a constant threat on the counter. History favors the visitors, as they have claimed victory in 3 of the last 5 head-to-head meetings, suggesting a tactical edge in high-pressure scenarios.
Benfica B will rely on goalkeeper Diogo Ferreira for his shot-stopping ability. In midfield, João Veloso is a key figure, providing creative play and linking defense to attack. Upfront, Henrique Araújo will be looked upon to provide the goal threat with his clinical finishing and movement. The team also benefits from the experience of Nuno Félix in central defense.
