Grasshopper form and stats

With 3 Super League wins, 6 draws and 6 defeats from their home games, Grasshopper are certainly not brimming with confidence. Grasshopper are slowly digging their own grave here at Stadion Letzigrund with the depressing streak of not having won a home league game in ten attempts. The last victory here came in the St. Gallen match.

Grasshopper enjoyed a nice away win last time out, playing at Servette's place. The match ended 1-0 with Bonatini scoring. Goalkeeper Moreira got the top rating on the team in that game; 8.43 out of ten. Moreira topped it up with a clean sheet.

The spoils were shared after 90 minutes before that, a home game that ended 2-2 versus Luzern.

The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Grasshopper have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found four games) they have won three times, drawn zero and lost one.

Grasshopper have proved capable of finding the net in their games here at Stadion Letzigrund with 27 goals in 15 league matches.
