Grasshoppers, Recent FormGrasshoppers will have been reasonably pleased with their 1-1 draw against Lugano, not least because of the valuable point gained. They achieved 44% possession in that match and had 8 strikes at goal, with 3 hitting the target, up against Lugano's tally of 15 efforts at goal, 1 of which were on target.
They may consider themselves adept at breaking through their opponent's defences, having scored 9 goals in their last 6 outings, but they have had their own defensive frailties to worry about, having conceded 9 and seen valuable points lost. Few teams have managed to keep GCZ away from their goal, having scored in all but 1 of their games this season. As defensive records go, they don't have one to celebrate, with at least 1 goal shipped in 16 of their 18 league matches this season.
This will be regarded as a poor run of form, with 3 defeats from their last 6 matches and just 2 victories.
Christián Herc will be aiming to add his name to the scoresheet again to extend his goal tally of 3 goals in the last 6 league outings for Grasshoppers.
Basel, Recent FormThe Basel squad will be suffering from a feeling of disappointment after falling to a 3-2 home defeat against Luzern, which saw them drop all three points and come away from the game empty-handed. They came away from that fixture with a 49% share of the possession and clocked up 16 attempts on goal with 6 on target, in comparison to Luzern, who managed 14 attempts on goal, 5 of which were on target.
It seems pretty certain that Alex Frei will be quite pleased with his squad's ability to score goals in recent matches, having managed 6 goals in their past 6 outings. In contrast, however, he will be concerned that their defensive qualities look a little more fragile, with 8 goals conceded in those matches and some crucial points dropped.
Having drawn 2 of their last 6 games they have at least put some points on the table, but they will not be overly happy with only 1 win.
On an individual basis, Bradley Fink will be looking to cause Grasshoppers some problems having scored 2 goals in Basel's last 6 away games in the league.
Basel suffered the disappointment of a 1-0 defeat at the hands of Grasshoppers the last time they met in the league.
The Bebbi defence has struggled against Grasshoppers in past meetings, having conceded 1 or more goals in each of their last 5 games. Basel have a good attacking record away to GCZ in the league, having scored a total of 6 goals in their last 3 visits, which gives an average of 2 goals per game.
Grasshoppers 3 - 5 BaselWith no real injury worries, Grasshoppers manager Giorgio Contini will be happy to have his full squad available for selection.
Basel manager Alex Frei has no real injury worries ahead of this clash.
