De Graafschap TOP Oss betting prediction

The away team is currently in the 13^th position of the league, with 16 points won, after 4 wins, 4 draws and 6 losses. In the penultimate match, they tied in an away match against Vitesse, by (0‑0). In the last match, they won in a home match against FC Den Bosch, by (1‑0). This is a team that usually makes good use of the home advantage, since they have won 3 points in away matches and 13 points at their stadium, with 9 goals scored and 15 goals conceded at home, against 2 goals scored and 9 conceded in away matches. In the last 6 away league matches TOP Oss has a record of 3 draws and 3 losses, so they have won 3 points out of 18 possible.

In this competition, they haven’t won any of the last 6 away matches. In their away league matches the most frequent result at half‑time was the 0‑0 (3 out of 6 matches). Defensive consistency hasn’t been their best feature, as they have conceded goals in 8 of the last 10 matches for this competition. This is a team that has had a hard time trying to score first. They have opened up the score in only 3 of the last 14 matches for the Eerste Divisie, they have reached half‑time in front in 2 of those 3 matches and have held on to the lead in 2. In 14 matches for this competition, they have conceded the first goal 9 times and have only turned the score around in 2. In the last 20 away matches for all competitions there is 1 period that stands out: they have scored 6 of their 14 goals between minutes (76'‑90').

TOP Oss is in its best form of the season after 2 wins and 1 draw, with particular emphasis on the last two matches in which they kept a clean sheet. However, they still have the worst away campaign in the league (16% win rate with 3 points from 6 away games). The team's biggest issue is the attack, the worst in the competition (11 goals scored in 14 rounds, averaging 0.7 goals per game), and especially the worst away attack (averaging 0.3 goals scored per match on the road, with only 2 goals in 6 away games). Their poor average possession (42%) makes TOP Oss the worst finisher (8.8 shots per match) and also the worst in terms of shots on target (2.9 shots on goal per game). To try to balance things out and stop their opponents, the team has become the second most foul-prone in the league (averaging 14.6 fouls per game). Head coach Sjors Ultee is expected to repeat the last starting lineup, based on the 4-3-3 tactical setup, with the only absentee being right-back Giovanni Troupee, who has been injured since the 10th round, played on October 22, 2024. As a result, Thomas Cox has been playing in that position. Goalkeeper and captain Mike Havekotte is the standout player for TOP Oss (having kept 4 clean sheets in 14 appearances) and was even named the best player in their most recent win.

Confirmed Lineup: Mike Havekotte, L. Miguel, Xander Lambrix, Giovanni Troupee, M. Esajas, Julian Kuijpers, Mitchell van Rooijen, Arthur Allemeersch, Joshua Zimmerman, Abel Stensrud, Mauresmo Johannes Jacob Danny Silvinho Hinoke.
Coach: R. Brood.
