It's still early in the Eerste Divisie season, but we are learning more and more about the teams. Here is the MVV Maastricht - TOP Oss preview!
Maastricht have less rest than TOP Oss in this fixture, as the hosts were involved in a Eerste Divisie game only three days ago. That game was an away game at FC Den Bosch, so at least MVV Maastricht are thankful to return home in this one. Game on!
MVV Maastricht form and stats
MVV Maastricht's first Eerste Divisie home game here at De Geusselt ended in defeat. Last season their home statistics were 6 wins, 4 draws and 4 defeats from 14 matches.
The fans are hoping that Maastricht will strike back in this match, putting things right after the 0-2 away loss in the Eerste Divisie game against FC Den Bosch (placed 9th). In the preceding match a 2-1 victory visiting Telstar.
The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Maastricht have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found eight games) they have won two times, drawn three and lost three.
MVV Maastricht has scored 1 goal so far and conceded 7 goals from 1 home game. These are numbers from the league only.
TOP Oss form and stats
It's not happening yet for TOP Oss on their Eerste Divisie travels, with zero points from their first 2 away games. Maybe today will be different? The travelling fans think it's time that their travel expenses are covered with some points now, as TOP have lost on their last two travels.
TOP's last game was the home draw against SC Cambuur (2-2). Preceding that game, the 0-3 loss visiting Almere City's place.
TOP Oss are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is zero wins, two draws and four defeats. From a total of six matches.
TOP Oss have the goal stats of 0-6 (for/against) from 2 business trips in the league at this early stage of the season.
Head 2 Head
Numbers for the last ten meetings between these two teams are: seven wins for Maastricht, one draw and two wins for TOP Oss. Over 2,5 goals: six times; under 2,5 goals: four games.MVV Maastricht missing players
