Is there any difference (internal or practical) in using $this->request->getPost() and $form->request->getPost() in regards to filtering and sanitizing data coming from a form?

Example code:

            $form = new LoginForm();

            if ($this->request->isPost()) {
                if ($form->isValid($this->request->getPost())) {
                    // And here comes the line I am asking the question about
                    $this->getDI()->get('auth')->formLogin($form->request->getPost());
                    $this->flashSession->success('Login successful!');
                    // bla bla
                }
            }
// OR this
            $form = new LoginForm();

            if ($this->request->isPost()) {
                if ($form->isValid($this->request->getPost())) {
                    /// And here comes the line I am asking the question about
                    $this->getDI()->get('auth')->formLogin($this->request->getPost());
                    $this->flashSession->success('Login successful!');
                    // bla bla
                }
            }
