ADO Den Haag form and stats

2 victories, 2 draws and 3 defeats. That’s what ADO Den Haag have to build on here at Cars Jeans Stadion in the Eerste Divisie. The ADO Den Haag manager Kuijt might feel some added pressure to get something from this game after two straight home defeats.

TOP Oss form and stats

The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for TOP Oss so far with only 6 points returning home. The records show 2-0-5 (win-draw-lose). When TOP Oss is visiting a side on the bottom half, they have won 2 of 3 matches. Jong Utrecht, De Graafschap, FC Dordrecht, TOP Oss, Jong PSV and Helmond Sport is teams we like to compare ADO Den Haag with. It's looking increasingly bleak for TOP who now has to deal with a four game losing streak. Roda JC Kerkrade was the last time a defeat was avoided.

TOP Oss aren't clicking offensively as they have gone 360 league minutes without a goal. Margaritha was the last player to find the net.

This fixture can not go any worse than the previous one, the home loss versus FC Dordrecht with 0-1 on the scoreboard. Midfield player Beekman was the top player of the team with a match rating of 7.64/10. Beekman hit one key pass.

A 0-3 defeat away at Heracles Almelo before that.

A fact for sports gamblers considering a bet on only one (or no) side scoring in this match: This club have played 5 consecutive league matches with just one or no team finding the net.

As for defending, TOP Oss rarely keep clean sheets as they have conceded 13 goals from these away matches. When TOP Oss is visiting a side on the bottom half, 2 of 3 matches have ended with three or more goals. These are matches against Jong Utrecht, De Graafschap, FC Dordrecht, TOP Oss, Jong PSV and Helmond Sport.

Head 2 Head

Haag have avoided a loss in the last 4 fixtures (3-1-0) facing TOP Oss.
