An important duel in the bottom section of the league table, with both teams experiencing more worry than joy. This match is a classic “six-pointer” with the home team placed 10th and the visitors in 7th place.

Grasshopper and Sion should both be in good shape for this meeting, as there's been enough days for both of them to train and rest since their last matches.

Grasshopper form and stats

With 4 wins, 3 draws and 10 defeats from their home games, Grasshopper, who have the fewest points (15) at home in Super League, are certainly not brimming with confidence. All in all it has been a very rough period for Grasshopper who hasn’t won a game in their last 18 attempts. Their previous win was against St. Gallen. With nine home 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 Young Boys after a 1-6 scoreline. A defeat was the result before that one, 0-4 away at Luzern.

There will be little rest for Grasshopper after this match as they are travelling to Lugano for a Super League game in only three days.

The goals haven't exactly been flowing for Grasshopper here at Stadion Letzigrund, with less than one goal per game on average (16 from 17 games). With more than 1,5 conceded goals on average, the Grasshopper defense is not exactly impregnable. 30 goals conceded from 17 games. You can find more goal stats on the Statistics tab above.
