Cambuur vs Oss Prediction & Betting Tips (15 August)

SC Cambuur and TOP Oss are set to clash on August 15, 2025, in what promises to be a tightly contested fixture in the Eerste Divisie. Cambuur, currently sitting 16th in the table, have shown flashes of resilience in recent weeks, notably with wins over Telstar and Excelsior. Their attacking momentum has been spearheaded by Remco Balk and Benjamin Pauwels, the latter boasting the highest shots-on-target ratio in the squad. Coach Sjors Ultee has been experimenting with a more aggressive 4-3-3 formation, which paid dividends in their 2–1 win against Telstar—a scoreline they’ll be eager to replicate against Oss.

TOP Oss, meanwhile, find themselves just one spot below Cambuur in 17th, and their form has been erratic. They managed a narrow 1–0 victory over MVV Maastricht but were outclassed by FC Eindhoven and Roda JC in recent outings. Coach Ruud Brood has leaned on a compact midfield setup, often relying on counter-attacks led by Mart Remans and Mauresmo Hinoke. However, defensive lapses—like the own goal that cost them a win against Cambuur in February—continue to haunt them. Their recent 1–1 draw against Helmond Sport showed grit, but not enough creativity in the final third.

Historically, Cambuur have had the upper hand in this matchup, winning 9 of their last 17 meetings. Yet Oss have claimed the last two encounters, suggesting a psychological edge. That said, Cambuur’s home form has been solid, and their ability to control possession—68% in their last meeting—could tilt the balance. With both teams desperate to climb out of the lower half of the table, expect a high-intensity battle with tactical tweaks from both benches.

Given the current trajectory and squad dynamics, a 2–1 victory for Cambuur seems the most plausible outcome. Their attacking depth, combined with Oss’s vulnerability under pressure, sets the stage for a narrow but deserved win. Look for Pauwels to be instrumental in creating chances, while Balk could once again be the difference-maker in the dying minutes. Oss may find the net through a set-piece or a moment of brilliance, but Cambuur’s overall cohesion should see them through.
