TOP Oss form and stats

TOP Oss have played 15 Eerste Divisie games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 6-2-7 (wins-draws-losses).

M. Remans was the last player to score a league goal for TOP Oss and it's becoming a more and more distant memory as TOP haven't scored in 190 minutes.

TOP Oss are hoping to put things right at home after a defeat in their previous match, the score 0-1 away versus FC Den Bosch. Before that, TOP played out a draw 0-0 when visiting FC Eindhoven.

The defeat against FC Den Bosch was especially painful as the deciding goal against was scored three minutes into stoppage time (by J. Hornkamp).

There will be little rest for TOP after this match as they are travelling to Jong Ajax for a Eerste Divisie game in only four days.

A decent goal production from TOP in their home games so far, with 23 goals from 15 league matches. TOP have conceded 25 from these games.

FC Volendam form and stats

Playing away, FC Volendam have won 8 games, drawn 5 and suffered 2 defeats in the Eerste Divisie this season.

FC Volendam might have something to prove in this game as they lost at home in their previous match. SC Cambuur proved too strong as Volendam slumped to a 0-3 defeat in front of their own fans at Kras Stadion. That result followed a home victory 2-1 versus NAC Breda.

It's a bit worrying for Volendam that their goalkeeper Joey Roggeveen made six saves in the SC Cambuur game last time out, but still couldn't prevent the loss.

The visitors are returning home after this fixture, hosting Helmond Sport in just four days.

FC Volendam have scored more than twice on average per away game (in the league), an impressive attacking display. They have 31 goals from 15 away matches. As opposed to that, FC Volendam have seen the ball go into their own net 18 times on the road.
