TOP Oss form and stats

With 3 Eerste Divisie wins, 1 draw and 6 defeats from their home games, TOP Oss are certainly not brimming with confidence.

The TOP Oss supporters got no joy from their last match, also played here at Frans Heesen Stadion: A 1-3 defeat against Jong AZ (placed 7th). The first defeat after collecting points through three league games. Jansen had a busy but productive day in the Jong AZ match. Despite making six saves the loss could not be prevented. Goalkeeper Jansen got the top rating on the team in that game; 7.4 out of ten. Jansen saved a penalty.

1-1 away at Roda JC Kerkrade before that.

The TOP Oss fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 12 in 10 matches. TOP have conceded 17 from these games.
