Grasshopper form and stats

There's been little loot from Grasshopper's travels as they have only collected 7 points from 13 away games. Grasshopper, who have the fewest points (7) away in Super League, only has 1 win to counter their 8 defeats and 4 draws. Grasshopper are desperate to end a twelve-game winless run, as they haven't won a game since the St. Gallen fixture. Two points from the last two away games for Grasshopper, which the math geniuses among you will translate to two draws.

Grasshopper delivered a 1-1 draw playing at home against Zurich in their previous match; a Super League game. A 0-0 draw at St. Gallen's stadium before that.
