The visiting Thun side should be favourites in this visit to Grasshopper, as the away team holds a 17 point advantage from their 29 league games this season.
Both teams should be fairly well rested for this game, as they have had some quiet days to prepare. Hopefully this will translate into lots of action on the pitch.
One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on grass and that the visiting Thun have a different surface at their stadium (artificial turf). The impact of this is hard to measure exactly, but the visitors stats on grass is 15-5-14 (win-draw-loss) from 34 matches.
Grasshopper form and stats

Grasshopper, who have the fewest scored goals (26) in Super League, have only managed 4 wins, 2 draws and 9 losses so far from their games here at Stadion Letzigrund. All in all it has been a very rough period for Grasshopper who hasn’t won a game in their last 13 attempts. Their previous win was against St. Gallen. Grasshopper are slowly digging their own grave here at Stadion Letzigrund with the depressing streak of not having won a home game in seven attempts. The last victory here came in the St. Gallen match.Grasshopper drew their last game, 0-0 away at Basel. Preceding that game was the home draw versus Zurich that ended 1-1.
Grasshopper are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home, having created 15 goals in 15 matches. With more than 1,5 conceded goals on average, the Grasshopper defense is not exactly impregnable. 28 goals conceded from 15 games. You can find more goal stats on the Statistics tab above.
Thun form and stats
The visitors are W5-D1-L8 on the road this term. Three consecutive losses in away matches means Thun are growing more and more desperate for a good performance on the road.Thun's last game was the home draw against St. Gallen (0-0). A 1-5 defeat away at Young Boys before that.
The schedule is very tough for Thun now as they have to travel again shortly after this match. A Swiss Cup game at Luzern is waiting in only three days.
