The betting market estimate that the home team has about 55-60% chance of winning this match. There could be betting value if you think differently, so to help you here are the stats from Excelsior's earlier matches at home being 55%-60% favourite: Played four games, won two matches, drawn one and lost one.

TOP Oss form and stats

Let's have a look at how TOP Oss performed last season in the Eerste Divisie: They landed a 10th position in the league table after playing out 13 victories, 8 draws and 17 defeats. In total they scored 40 and conceded 57 goals in these matches. The numbers for away games only are: Won 5 - drew 5 and lost 9 with 11/26 goals scored/conceded.

As mentioned above, the odds for this match puts the home team as favourites. Perhaps this eases the pressure on the away team, who are capable of producing an upset here on a good day. Looking at earlier matches with similar odds and TOP playing away, we found four games. Results were one away win, two draws and one home win.

It's finally time to play a game of importance again as a long period of training has passed. TOP have played a number of friendly games in this period, resulting in 1 win, 1 draw and 2 defeats from four fixtures.

Head 2 Head

As for the last ten games between these two teams, there's six Excelsior victories, two draws and two TOP Oss wins. Over/under statistics; seven of these games ended with three goals or more, three matches with two goals or less.
