Oss (home)
- Oss are in danger of relegation in the Eerste Divisie, sitting on around 28 points from 31 matches and look to be playing with desperation.
- TOP Oss are a pragmatic 4-2-3-1 or 4-3-3 team in the hands of manager Sjors Ultee, who prefers a compact, low-block system and a fast, direct counter-attack when they get the ball.
Eindhoven (away)
- Eindhoven are a solid mid-table Eerste Divisie side (40 points from 31 games) with momentum in the right direction.
- The visitors come into this regional Brabant derby as marginal favorites for the win.
- FC Eindhoven are a patient team in the possession and build-up phases and are not averse to playing structured pressing from their 4-2-3-1 system to try and keep the ball in the middle third, which they can use their attacking midfielders to great effect.
- Jan Poortvliet has done well with FC Eindhoven since stepping in after Maurice Verberne's mid-season absence and they have continued to play a similar structured style.
Head-to-Head
This fixture has been anything but boring in recent years, with 7 goals in the last meeting and multiple of the last 12 head-to-head games producing 3+ goals .
Key Players
Mart Remans remains Oss’s top scorer this season, but Marcelencio Esajas has recently stepped up to make a big contribution.
