The visiting SC Cambuur side should be favourites in this visit to TOP Oss, as the away team holds a 30 point advantage from their 21 league games this season.

TOP Oss have less rest than SC Cambuur in this fixture, as the hosts were involved in a Eerste Divisie game only four days ago. At least it's nice to return home after that away game at Jong AZ.

TOP Oss form and stats

When playing at home in the Eerste Divisie, TOP Oss have managed 3 wins, 2 draws and suffered 5 defeats from 10 games. Regardless of arena the trend is looking very unhealthy for TOP Oss with their four defeats in a row. Not since the FC Eindhoven game, 49 days ago, have they avoided a loss.

TOP Oss lost their last game at Jong AZ (placed 13th) after a 1-3 scoreline. A 0-0 draw away in the KNVB Beker before that, with Katwijk the opponent.

Another home game is coming up fairly shortly for the hosts, as AZ are coming to town in four days.

TOP Oss has scored 11 league goals at home this season, in 10 matches. 13 goals have been conceded.
