Super League: We're previewing an absorbing and key game involving Lausanne Sport and Grasshopper at Stade de la Tuilière. This duo need points like a fish needs water!
- Lausanne Sport have the fewest scored goals (19) in Super League
- Grasshopper have the most dropped points from leading position (14) in Super League
The hosts Lausanne Sport saw competitive action as recent as four days ago, playing in the Swiss Cup. At least it's nice to return home after that away game at Yverdon Sport.
Lausanne Sport form and stats
With 1 Super League win, 3 draws and 6 defeats from their home games, Lausanne Sport, who have the fewest scored goals (19) in Super League, are certainly not brimming with confidence. Regardless of arena the trend is looking very unhealthy for Lausanne Sport with their four defeats in a row. Not since the Basel game, 69 days ago, have they avoided a loss.
Heartbreak before that as Lausanne lost 0-1 at Servette's place.This is expected to be a close game, with Lausanne Sport perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Lausanne Sport as a small favourite), we find twelve games. Lausanne Sport has won five of these, drawn one and lost six.
The Lausanne Sport fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 11 in 10 matches. Defensively there's plenty of potential for improvement as Lausanne Sport have allowed the opposition to score 26 goals here at Stade de la Tuilière.
Grasshopper form and stats
There's been little loot from Grasshopper's travels as they have only collected 10 points from 10 away games in the Super League. Grasshopper only have 2 wins to counter their 4 defeats and 4 draws.
Home advantage was not enough for Grasshopper in their previous game as they lost hosting Zurich, 1-3. Midfield player Schmid was the top player of the team with a match rating of 7.43/10. Schmid scored one goal and hit one key pass.
A 0-2 defeat away at Sion before that.As mentioned above, this is an open game with no clear favourite. We have found ten similar matches played by Grasshopper in our archives, and the results are: five wins for Grasshopper, one draw and four defeats.
The travelling fans enjoy Grasshopper's attacking play in away games, having scored 15 goals in 10 league matches away. Grasshopper's defence is not exactly unbeatable as they have conceded 15 goals from these trips.
Head 2 Head
