TOP Oss form and stats

Seven points from three Eerste Divisie home games is a great start for TOP Oss, who are hoping to build on that form here at Frans Heesen Stadion.

TOP Oss lost their last game at Roda JC Kerkrade (placed 7th) after a 0-2 scoreline. Norbert Alblas had a busy but productive day in the Roda JC Kerkrade match. Despite making six saves the loss could not be prevented. Norbert Alblas, who guards the goal, was given a match rating of 7.13 out of 10 in that game. Alblas stopped the opponent with six saves.

Preceding that game was the home draw versus ADO Den Haag that ended 3-3.

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 eleven games. TOP has won eight of these, drawn two and lost one.

Goals are plentiful at Frans Heesen Stadion in the league this season as TOP has scored 8 goals here in 3 home games. 4 goals have been conceded.
