TOP Oss form and stats

There's been little loot from TOP Oss's travels as they have only collected 14 points from 16 away games in the Eerste Divisie. TOP Oss only have 4 wins to counter their 10 defeats and 2 draws. TOP seem to be suffering from homesickness with two consecutive losses away. Third time lucky?

There were no winners in TOP Oss's previous match, the home game that ended 3-3 vs Graafschap (placed 9th). Drawing 3-3 against Graafschap after 90 minutes last time out was very disappointing after leading the match 3-1. Their manager Wels needs to evaluate why the team couldn't defend their result. Jansen had red hot gloves after the game against Graafschap, shaping the outcome of the game with seven saves made. Midfield player Margaritha was the top player of the team with a match rating of 8.4/10. Margaritha signed up for two assists, hit four key passes and dribled past the opponent 5 of 7 times.

A 2-4 defeat away at Jong Utrecht before that.

Take note that 11 of this team's 14 latest league matches have ended with at least three goals.

Many goals are not expected from the visiting TOP Oss as they have only managed to score 15 times from 16 away games in the league. TOP Oss has visited these top teams five times, and 4 of 5 has ended with 2 goals or more!

Head 2 Head

Willem have managed a streak of 5 consecutive games without losing (4-1-0) when facing TOP Oss.

The two teams involved met each other before this campaign: TOP Oss - Willem II 1-3.
