Insights:
  • TOP Oss have won significantly less corners at home than away.
  • Jong AZ have failed to keep a clean sheet in all their away matches.

Jong AZ could be less fresh than the hosts in this fixture, as they played a Eerste Divisie game only four sleeps ago.

TOP Oss form and stats

With 2 Eerste Divisie wins, 1 draw and 4 defeats from their home games, TOP Oss are certainly not brimming with confidence.
