Grasshoppers vs Zurich Prediction: Go all out in favor of the road team

At Letzigrund, Grasshoppers will play Zurich in round 10 of the Swiss Super League. Heading into this game, the two teams will have high hopes, hoping to take maximum points. Will there be a winner or will a draw be enough for the two sides?

Grasshoppers are coming off a friendly encounter against Xamas, securing a big 6-0 win. In that game, Young-Jun Lee stole the first half show, scoring twice. However, second half strikes from Awer Mabil, Benno Schmitz, Yannick Bettkober and Adama Bojang were enough to seal the win for Grasshoppers. In the meantime, Grasshoppers’ last league game was against Winterthur and this team lost 1-0. Heading into this game, Grasshoppers have 8 points from their first nine matches this season. With 10 goals scored and 14 conceded, Grasshoppers sit 9th in the league standings. 

Zurich's last encounter was against Vaduz in a friendly encounter and they settled for a 2-2 draw. In that game, Zurich had to come from behind twice to avoid a defeat, thanks to Bledian Krasniqi and Mohamed Bangoura’s strikes. In the meantime, Zurich also played to a draw in their last league game, a 2-2 draw with Lugano at home. Heading into this week 10 match, Zurich have 18 points, same as first-placed Luzern as they sit 2nd in the league standings. 

Grasshoppers look very sharp but Zurich’s ambition make them a good competitor for this game. While also looking at their past matchups, the road team has dominated this fixture, and history could repeat itself. This is going to be a very tough game in between as I do not expect the two teams to slack. Take the road team to win, while the score ends 1-2.
