3rd position in the Challenge League table for Grasshopper so far, a good performance. The home supporters hope for more joy as 5th-placed Kriens visits Letzigrund.
These are busy days for the home team, as they were in action only three days ago in the Swiss Cup. This match was also played here at Letzigrund. With two consecutive home games the intense schedule is somewhat softened. Still, Kriens have had more rest. That game was an away game at Luzern, so at least Grasshopper are thankful to return home in this one. Game on!
