- Promotion-chasing Almere City has won three, drawn one and lost just one of their last five matches.
- TOP Oss has won one, drawn two and lost two of their last five games.
Home side should have enough to overcome stubborn Oss
This Almere City vs FC Oss / Top Oss preview highlights that Almere City will take some stopping in the Dutch Eerste Divisie 2025-2026 season and Jeroen Rijsdijk’s men have picked up where they left off after he took over in January.
His side are pushing for an immediate return to the Eredivisie after relegation and have won three, drawn one and lost one of their last five matches, including a 3-1 win at Vitesse. The previous week saw them defeat Jong Ajax 2-0 at home as Almere City made it two games unbeaten at Yanmar Stadion, winning one and drawing the other.
Sitting fifth in the table with 52 points from 33 games, Almere are well clear of 20th-placed TOP Oss, who have 32 points from the same number of games. The hosts should have the quality to win this and push on in their promotion bid, although this won’t be a pushover against a compact and stubborn away side, according to our Almere City vs FC Oss / Top Oss prediction.
Compact Oss can frustrate hosts
Sjors Ultee’s side have set up very compactly this season, often with a five-man defence, while their game plan is to defend deep, block the ball up and then transition quickly on the turnover.
Mart Remans leads the line with seven goals in 30 league appearances but they are usually on the back foot and lack the width and players to play at the top level in the Eerste Divisie. TOP Oss have won only three of their 16 away matches, and have drawn both of their last two away matches.
The Almere City vs FC Oss / Top Oss betting tips suggest that Almere City are a much more attacking side and play a high-tempo 4-3-3 where they look to turn their opposition over with constant counter-pressing and wide play. Julian Rijkhoff is their main attacking outlet, having scored 15 goals in 32 Eerste Divisie appearances this term, and they need to be in the mood to push forward.
Take an entertaining game and a home win
The odds are short for Almere City to win and probably rightly so at 1.44. The Almere City vs FC Oss / Top Oss prediction is that they should have the momentum to break Oss down at some stage in the game and get back to winning ways, but the visitors are solid enough to make them work for it.
Take the Over 2.5 goals at 1.38 and Both Teams to Score - Yes at 1.5, which will land if Almere maintain their current scoring rate and Oss get on the scoresheet in what should be a high-scoring game.
