TOP Oss hope to sell some tickets for this game even though the season has been rough so far with 21 points and a 17th position in the Eerste Divisie table. Visiting Jong Utrecht holds 12th place with 38 pts.

It’s a hectic schedule for the away team, as they were in action only four days ago in the Eerste Divisie.

TOP Oss form and stats

The story so far in the Eerste Divisie for TOP Oss at their home stadium (Frans Heesen Stadion) is 4 wins, 3 draws and 6 defeats.

The home team returns to Frans Heesen Stadion after being equal after 90 minutes with Jong PSV (placed 16th) on their last time out; the Eerste Divisie game ended 1-1. Preceding that match was the home game against FC Dordrecht that was lost 1-3.

The bookmakers consider this a fairly even contest. One could say only the home advantage separates the teams. It could be relevant to look at how TOP Oss have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites). Our database has found five matches with the results: Won one, drawn two and lost two.

TOP Oss are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 15 goals in 13 games. TOP Oss have conceded 18 in these home matches.

Jong Utrecht form and stats

The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Jong Utrecht so far with only 9 points returning home. The records show 2-3-8 (win-draw-lose). Three might be a magic number, but there's been little wizardry in Jong Utrecht's last three away games as they have all been lost.

Impressive finishing from O. Velanas and J. Hilterman secured the home win 2-1 against FC Volendam in their previous game. It was a defeat before that one as the away game against FC Den Bosch wasn't a success with a 2-3 loss.

Jong Utrecht have scored 13 goals on their travels this season, from 13 away games in the league. In the opposite end, Jong Utrecht have conceded 25 goals in their away games.

Head 2 Head

The most recent history between these sides is the Jong Utrecht - TOP Oss 2-1 played earlier this season. Numbers for the last eight meetings between these two teams are: five wins for TOP Oss, one draw and two wins for Jong Utrecht. Over 2,5 goals: six times; under 2,5 goals: two games.
