Grasshopper form and stats

There's been little loot from Grasshopper's travels as they have only collected 9 points from 17 away games. Grasshopper, who have the fewest points (9) away in Super League, only have 1 win to counter their 10 defeats and 6 draws. The sun doesn’t shine and the birds do not sing for Grasshopper, who have now gone 19 games without a victory. The St. Gallen game was their last win and it’s been a dry spell since. Grasshopper seem to be suffering from homesickness with two consecutive losses away. Third time lucky?

Grasshopper failed to get anything from their last game, a home match vs Sion that ended with defeat 0-3. It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Young Boys wasn't a success with a 1-6 loss.

The visitors have scored 13 goals from 17 away games, an average of less than one per game. The Grasshopper manager U. Forte has some worries about the defense as 35 goals have been conceded in these travels.

Head 2 Head

These teams' last encounter with each other was the Grasshopper - Lugano 1-1 earlier this season. Head-2-head stats last ten meetings: 4 - 3 - 3 (Lugano wins - draws - Grasshopper wins). As for goals, 5 matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), 5 had two or less.
