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 8th place.

We should expect both teams to be fresh and ready for this match, as there is some time since both teams last played. Let's have a look at how the teams are doing!

Grasshopper form and stats

Grasshopper's struggle is real here at Stadion Letzigrund with only 15 points collected from 16 games. The win-draw-lost numbers are ugly 4-3-9. The home team are struggling everywhere these days as they haven't won a game, regardless of being the home or the away team, in 15 attempts. With eight 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.

The home team returns to Stadion Letzigrund after sharing the points with Neuchatel Xamax on their last time out; the Super League game ended 1-1. In the match before that, Grasshopper hosted Thun and drew the game 1-1.

Grasshopper has scored 16 goals at home this season, in 16 matches. Defensively it’s touch-and-go for the home team as 29 goals have been conceded.
