TOP Oss form and stats

With 2 Eerste Divisie wins, 4 draws and 4 defeats from their home games, TOP Oss are certainly not brimming with confidence. With eight home Eerste Divisie games in a row without a win, the TOP Oss fans could feel they are not getting value for their money. It remains to be seen whether this unfortunate streak, which started after the FC Dordrecht game long ago, can be stopped today.

TOP are returning here after visiting VVV-Venlo in a Eerste Divisie game and winning with a 3-2 scoreline. Pata, Tejan and Herik scored the goal(s). Alblas loved the game against VVV-Venlo. With a stunning six saves the goalkeeper played a huge part in the 3-2 victory. Pata, defender, was given a rating of 7.81/10 in that game, top of the team. Pata scored one goal and won 7 of 10 duels.

The spoils were shared after 90 minutes before that, a home game that ended 1-1 versus Jong Ajax.

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 as a small favourite), we find ten games. TOP Oss has won eight of these, drawn one and lost one.

The TOP fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 14 in 10 matches. Defensively it’s touch-and-go for the home team as 17 goals have been conceded. There's been improvement defensively lately, as only 2 of these goals has been conceded in their last three home matches. TOP Oss has at home met teams with this table position (low), three times. It has ended with less than 2.5 goals 2 of 3 times.

Jong AZ form and stats

Jong AZ have only collected 7 points from their away games in the Eerste Divisie, after 2-1-6 (9 played). Jong are desperate to end a eleven-game winless run, as they haven't won a game since the FC Dordrecht fixture.

Jong's last game was the home draw against FC Den Bosch (3-3). An insane game with an abundance of goals last time out for Jong, as mentioned above. 6 goals in that fixture, will this match be as enjoying? Griffith, attacking player, was the top performer on the team in that game, scoring a match rating of 8.1. Griffith scored one goal, served one assist, hit four key passes, dribled past the opponent 2 of 4 times and had 34 successful passes (of 40 total).

A 2-3 defeat away at ADO Den Haag before that.

As mentioned above, this is an open game with no clear favourite. We have found four similar matches played by Jong in our archives, and the results are: two wins for Jong AZ, zero draws and two defeats.

Many goals are not expected from the visiting Jong as they have only managed to score 8 times from 9 away games in the league. It's worth mentioning that 4 of these goals has been scored in their last three away matches. Jong have conceded 13 goals in these away matches.
