An important duel in the bottom section of the Eerste Divisie, with both TOP Oss and FC Den Bosch experiencing more worry than joy. This match is a classic "six-pointer" with the home team placed 19th and the visitors in 14th place.
Both teams should be fairly well rested for this game, as they have had some quiet days to prepare. Hopefully this will translate into lots of action on the pitch.
TOP Oss form and stats
1-1-1 (win-draw-lost) are the Eerste Divisie numbers at home for TOP Oss so far this season.
TOP manager K. Wels and his team return home after a 1-1 draw away versus Telstar (placed 6th) in the Eerste Divisie. Previous to that game, a home match hosting FC Dordrecht in a game that was won 2-0.
Cas Peters was able to secure the draw 1-1 in the game against Telstar after coming on as a substitute and scoring the final goal. In the starting lineup today?
This is expected to be a close game, with TOP Oss perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with TOP Oss as a small favourite), we find six games. TOP has won three of these, drawn one and lost two.
There will be little rest for TOP Oss after this match as they are travelling to Jong Utrecht for a Eerste Divisie game in only three days.
The TOP Oss fans have had their share of opportunities to cheer home goals this season, having seen 5 goals in 3 league matches. TOP Oss's goalkeeper has had to pick the ball out of their own net 4 times. For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above.
FC Den Bosch form and stats
It's not happening yet for FC Den Bosch on their Eerste Divisie travels, with zero points from their first 3 away games. Maybe today will be different? Three might be a magic number, but there's been little wizardry in Bosch's last three away games as they have all been lost.
Bosch's last game was the home draw against Almere City (1-1). A 1-2 loss hosting Helmond Sport before that.
So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with FC Den Bosch playing away and similar expectations, we found one relevant match. Results were zero Bosch wins, one draw and zero defeats.
After this away game Bosch return home for a Eerste Divisie game against Excelsior. That game is only three sleeps after this.
FC Den Bosch find the net regularly in their away games. 4 goals from 3 away fixtures in the league. There are big problems for the FC Den Bosch defense as they have conceded 12 goals in 3 away games.
Head 2 Head
Numbers for the last ten meetings between these two teams are: two wins for TOP, three draws and five wins for FC Den Bosch. Over 2,5 goals: six times; under 2,5 goals: four games.TOP Oss missing players
