Penafiel host AVS in Liga 2, with the home side in its best run of results this season, while the visitors also picked up a win last time out, though their paths to this point have been clearly different. Penafiel are unbeaten in 5 straight matches and have scored so regularly in the league that they have climbed to 2nd in the table, while AVS have yet to find their rhythm, winning just once in 6 league games, scoring 6 and conceding 6, with attack and defence still not clicking. This game therefore favours the home side in both rhythm and confidence. Penafiel are expected to dominate more of the game and push forward to press from early in the first half, while AVS will likely sit deep and wait to counter. The first half may not open up into an exchange, but in the second half the home side will need to push harder for a goal, and the game will open up more with chances for the visitors to counter.
