Competition: Netherlands Eerste Divisie
Competition: Fri 12.August
Match begins: 18:00 (UTC)
Venue: Yanmar Stadion (3000 seats)

It's the second attempt for points this campaign as Almere City and TOP Oss fight it out at Yanmar Stadion.

4-2-11 (wins/draws/losses). These are the numbers for TOP Oss when playing away games on grass, which is not the surface they have on their own home stadium (which has artifical turf). Their goal statistics from those 17 matches are 13-33 (scored/conceded).

Both teams should be fairly well rested for this game, as they have had some quiet days to prepare. Hopefully this will translate into lots of action on the pitch.
