The Jong Utrecht crowd went home unhappy last time out, seeing their beloved players lose 1-2 to Roda JC Kerkrade here at Sportcomplex Zoudenbalch in a Eerste Divisie match. Midfielder Davy van den Berg was the best player on the team with a rating of 7.43 (out of ten) in that game. Berg hit one key pass and had 50 successful passes (of 55 total).
A defeat was the result before that one, 1-3 away at Jong Ajax.This is expected to be a close game, with Jong Utrecht perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Jong Utrecht as a small favourite), we find eleven games. Jong Utrecht has won six of these, drawn one and lost four.
Jong Utrecht are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 6 goals in 5 games. Utrecht have conceded 5 in these home matches.
TOP Oss form and stats
Playing away, TOP Oss have won 1 game, drawn 0 and suffered 4 defeats in the Eerste Divisie this season. Bitter travels for TOP as they have lost four games in a row away from home. The last time they avoided an away-from-home loss was the Excelsior match.
TOP failed to get anything from their last game, a Eerste Divisie home match vs FC Emmen (placed 4th) that ended with defeat 1-2. Late heartbreak for TOP in the FC Emmen match, as the deciding 1-2 goal came deep into overtime. Joshua Sanches got a match rating of 8.14 in that game, top player of the team. Sanches dribled past the opponent 2 of 2 times and had 28 successful passes (of 35 total).
