Telstar form and stats
The story so far in the Eerste Divisie for Telstar at their home stadium (BUKO Stadion) is 5 wins, 4 draws and 5 defeats.
Telstar drew their last game, 2-2 away at Helmond Sport (after extra-time) (placed 15th). A disappointing finish for Telstar in their match versus Helmond Sport as their 2-0 lead was destroyed and replaced with a 2-2 full time score. The forward Min won the honour of being "man of the match" for Telstar with the rating of 7.35/10. Min scored one goal.
In the preceding match a 2-1 victory visiting Roda JC Kerkrade (after extra-time).The Telstar fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 16 in 14 matches. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 1 of these goals has been scored in their last three home matches. Defensively it’s touch-and-go for the home team as 21 goals have been conceded.
TOP Oss form and stats
There's been little loot from TOP Oss's travels as they have only collected 14 points from 14 away games in the Eerste Divisie. TOP Oss only have 4 wins to counter their 8 defeats and 2 draws. Winning streaks in away matches are not that common, but TOP Oss are close to a proper streak after winning their two previous away games.
This match can not go any worse than the last one, the home loss versus Heracles Almelo (after extra-time) with 1-5 on the scoreboard. TOP Oss lost the plot completely in their previous game, as mentioned above. They need to recover quickly from that 1-5 beating and focus on this one.
A loss against ADO Den Haag (after extra-time) was the result prior to that, in a home game.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 5 games. Results were 4 away wins, 0 draws and 1 home win.
Goal hungry football fans should note that 8 of this side's 10 most recent league matches have ended with three or more goals.
The visitors have scored 13 goals from 14 away games in the league, an average of less than one per game. TOP Oss struggle to build an impenetrable defensive wall in away matches with a total of 27 goals conceded from these games.
