Venue: Sportpark De Toekomst (2000 seats)

There should be a significant difference in quality between these teams based on table positions so far, with Jong Ajax leading TOP Oss by 24 points.

TOP Oss could be less fresh than the hosts in this fixture, as they played a KNVB Beker game only three sleeps ago. That game, against Katwijk, was also an away game. It's a tiring schedule for TOP Oss.

This pitch has grass, which is not TOP Oss's usual surface at their own ground. When playing on grass TOP Oss have performed like this: Played 19 matches resulting in 5 wins, 4 draws and 10 defeats with the goal stats 18-32 (scored/conceded).

TOP Oss form and stats

There's been little loot from TOP Oss's travels as they have only collected 4 points from 9 away games in the Eerste Divisie. TOP Oss only have 1 win to counter their 7 defeats and 1 draw. Three might be a magic number, but there's been little wizardry in TOP Oss's last three away games as they have all been lost.

TOP Oss have been frustrated by their lack of goals lately, as they haven't scored in the league since they found the net 214 minutes ago. G. Buttner was the goal scorer.

It's another away game for the visitors, as they travelled to Katwijk in their previous outing. The KNVB Beker match ended in a draw 0-0. A loss against Excelsior was the result prior to that, in a Eerste Divisie home game.

With the home team given a winning probability of about 80% by the bookmakers, any point(s) for the visitors would be a surprise. Checking earlier matches with similar odds with TOP Oss as the away team, we found five results. Statistics from these were 1 away win, 1 draw and 3 defeats. The outsiders lost 2 of these games by at least two goals.

Many goals are not expected from the visiting TOP Oss as they have only managed to score 6 times from 9 away games in the league. The opposition has been scoring high and low on TOP Oss's goalkeeper in away games this season, as they have let in 24 goals in 9 travels.

Head 2 Head

These teams' last encounter with each other was the TOP Oss - Jong Ajax 2-1 earlier this season. Head-2-head stats last ten meetings: 6 - 2 - 2 (Jong Ajax wins - draws - TOP Oss wins). As for goals, 7 matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), 3 had two or less.
