Comparative Team Statistics: FC OSS vs Jong Ajax

Head-to-head: recent meetings have been close

Looking at the last five meetings between these two, none has been settled by more than a single goal. FC OSS won 2-1 at home in April this season's reverse fixture at Jong Ajax finished 1-2 to FC OSS, while the two before that were drawn 1-1 and 0-0.

There's no sign of one side dominating the fixture lately. It's been a fairly even contest across recent seasons, even if the wider head-to-head history goes back further and includes some more lopsided scorelines from years ago.

Where they stand this season

Jong Ajax are 15th with 8 points from 9 games, having won twice, drawn twice and lost five times. FC OSS sit lower still, 18th with 6 points from 7 games, also with two wins but no draws at all.

These are still small samples this early in the campaign, and with the fixture still a month away when this was written, the table could look quite different by kickoff.

Early-season numbers like these can shift a fair bit before the two sides actually meet.

Players to watch

Jong Ajax's goals have mostly come from D. Pugno and E. Ünüvar, both on 5 for the season so far, with Pugno also chipping in assists. For FC OSS, F. Nsingi leads the way with 4 goals in 7 appearances.

On the disciplinary side, Jong Ajax's J. Heerkens and FC OSS's A. Henry have each picked up a red card this season. That's just a point of interest from the records rather than confirmation either will be missing for this particular game.

How this one might unfold

With both defences having conceded freely this season and over the longer 20-game sample, this doesn't look like a fixture built for a tight, goalless affair. Recent head-to-head results back that up too, with goals at both ends rather than one side shutting up shop.

That said, neither team has been convincingly good going forward either, so it could easily end up scrappy rather than end-to-end.
