Grasshopper form and stats

The Super League season is young and Grasshopper have only just started going through their travel schedule, with 3 away games done and still no victory. 2 draws and 1 defeat so far.

There might be some fixture complaints from Grasshopper as they are again playing away from home after losing on the road in their previous match, the Swiss Cup match against Thun (0-1).

Before that, Grasshopper travelled to Luzern and returned home with a draw after the Super League game finished 1-1.

Grasshopper are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is zero wins, one draw and three defeats. From a total of four matches.

A quick return to home after this game, as Grasshopper are hosting Sion in the Super League only three days away.

Many goals are not expected from the visiting Grasshopper as they have only managed to score 2 times from 3 away games in the league. As opposed to that, Grasshopper have seen the ball go into their own net 3 times on the road.

Head 2 Head

As for the last ten games between these two teams, there's three Lugano victories, four draws and three Grasshopper wins. Over/under statistics; six of these games ended with three goals or more, four matches with two goals or less.
