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. TOP Oss are slowly digging their own grave here at Frans Heesen Stadion with the depressing streak of not having won a home league game in eight attempts. The last victory here came in the FC Dordrecht match.
TOP Oss enjoyed a nice away win last time out, playing at Helmond Sport's place. The match ended 3-1 with Tejan (3) scoring. TOP travelled for their previous game, a trip to Helmond Sport that ended 3-1. The fans are hoping that TOP Oss will strike back in this fixture, putting things right after the 3-1 away loss in the game against Helmond Sport (placed 18th). The striker Tejan bettered all the other players in that match and received a match rating of 9.63 out of 10. Tejan scored three goals, hit one key pass and dribled past the opponent 2 of 3 times.
Before that match, a win away at ADO Den Haag. A 0-2 draw away before that, with ADO Den Haag the opponent. Heartbreak before that as TOP Oss lost 0-2 at ADO Den Haag's place.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 ten games. TOP has won eight of these, drawn one and lost one.
Some members of the home team might already be thinking of their next match, the Eerste Divisie game versus FC Den Bosch in only four days. This game is also played here at Frans Heesen Stadion.
TOP Oss has scored 14 league goals at home this season, 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.
Jong AZ form and stats
The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Jong AZ so far with only 7 points returning home. The records show 2-1-7 (win-draw-lose). The pressure to perform on the road is increasing on Martens, the Jong AZ manager, as the last three away games were defeats.
Jong AZ's last game ended in a draw, the home match versus VVV-Venlo that finished 2-0. The manager Martens was unhappy after their last game, played at their home ground AFAS Trainingscomplex. Jong AZ suffered a 2-0 loss to VVV-Venlo (placed 11th). The regulars enjoyed Jong AZ's previous fixture versus VVV-Venlo (placed 11th), a 2-0 win played at home.
