TOP Oss form and stats

TOP Oss have played 9 Eerste Divisie games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 4-2-3 (wins-draws-losses). TOP has recorded two wins in a row here at Frans Heesen Stadion, increasing their hopes of victory in this match.

The fans are hoping that TOP will strike back in this match, putting things right after the 0-1 away loss in the Eerste Divisie game against Go Ahead Eagles (placed 7th). Ahead of that match, TOP won a home game hosting Jong Ajax (1-0).

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 as a small favourite), we find nine games. TOP Oss has won six of these, drawn one and lost two.

The TOP Oss fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 11 in 9 matches. TOP have conceded 9 in these home matches.
