A brief look at the Super League table imply an advantage to Basel when they go to Grasshopper. But; let's wait for the game before points are handed out!
- Grasshopper have played more matches over 2,5 goals home than away.
- Basel have the fewest conceded goals (31) in Super League
It’s a hectic schedule for the away team, as they were in action only three days ago in the Europa Conference League.
Grasshopper form and stats
Grasshopper have collected 14 points from their Super League home games so far after 3-5-5. With eight home Super League games in a row without a win, the Grasshopper fans could feel they are not getting value for their money. It remains to be seen whether this unfortunate streak, which started after the St. Gallen game long ago, can be stopped today.
Grasshopper lost their last game at Luzern (placed 9th) after a 0-1 scoreline.
Preceding that match was the home game against Servette that was lost 2-4.Grasshopper have proved capable of finding the net in their games here at Stadion Letzigrund with 23 goals in 13 league matches. Defensively it’s touch-and-go for the home team as 24 goals have been conceded. When Grasshopper hosts teams that live on the top of the table (like Luzern, Lausanne Sport and Sion), the matches have ended over 2.5 goals 3 of 4 times.
Basel form and stats
6 wins, 5 draws and 2 losses. That’s the product of Basel playing as the away team in the Super League this season.
Did you know that the longest clean sheet streak is 1816 minutes? This record is held by Mazaropi when he played in Vasco da Gama. Basel goalkeeper Heinz Lindner is eager to challenge this, with his 248 minutes of keeping balls out from the net.
This game can not go any worse than the previous one, a Europa Conference League home defeat versus Olympique Marseille with 1-2 on the scoreboard. Lindner (goalkeeper) was the best performer with a rating of 8.1. Lindner saved a penalty.
That result followed a home victory 2-0 versus Servette in the Super League.Basel are not goal shy away from home in the league, finding the net 25 times in 13 away games so far. Basel have conceded 17 goals in these away matches.
Head 2 Head
Basel - Grasshopper 2-2 was the outcome when this pair of squads formerly did battle, also in this season. The referee had use for red card when these teams last played each other, and the criminal was Esposito (Basel). Previous ten meetings between these sides: Grasshopper won zero, Basel triumphed in seven and we saw three draws. four games with more than 2,5 goals, six matches with under 2,5 goals.Top Goalscorers
