Young Boys look forward to challenge Grasshopper in this Super League fixture. All you must know about the game can be found right here!
One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on artifical turf and that the visiting Grasshopper have a different surface at their stadium (grass). The impact of this is hard to measure exactly, but the visitors stats on artifical turf is 2-1-4 (win-draw-loss) from seven matches.
