Grasshoppers, Recent FormThere will be a feeling of disappointment amongst the Grasshoppers players having failed to take any points away from their recent 2-1 away defeat at the hands of Servette. During that encounter they had 49% possession and had 7 attempts on goal with 3 on target, while their opponents hit 5 of their 14 shots on goal.
While they have been reasonably effective at circumventing their opponents defence, scoring 6 in their last 6 games, it's largely been tit for tat with their own defence proving to be equally ineffectual, conceding 7, and leading to valuable points being dropped. Having shipped at least a single goal in 17 of their 20 league matches this season, they don't have an enviable defensive record this campaign. Few teams have managed to keep GCZ away from their goal, having scored in all but 1 of their games this season.
This will be regarded as a poor run of form, with 3 defeats from their last 6 matches and just 2 victories.
FC Zurich, Recent FormLast time out for Zürich resulted in a perhaps unsurprising 1-1 draw against Winterthur in a match they really wanted to win. They came away from that fixture with a 63% share of the possession and clocked up 16 attempts on goal with 5 on target, in comparison to Winterthur, who managed 6 attempts on goal, 3 of which were on target.
It's reasonable to say they have enjoyed some decent goal scoring form of late, with 9 goals notched up in their last 6 matches, but while their offensive line is working, their defensive setup has shown cause for concern with 6 goals shipped and valuable points dropped. When it comes to attacking performances, they can consider themselves in a good and consistent form, having chalked up goals in 5 of their last 6 matches. They are proving to be well organised on their travels, having kept 3 clean sheets in their last 6 games.
Unbeaten in 5 of their last 6 matches can be counted as a good run of form, particularly with 3 victories included.
With 4 goals scored in his last 6 away games for Zürich, Jonathan Okita will be looking to add more goals against Grasshoppers in this match.
Zürich will be looking to forget their last league encounter with Grasshoppers, when a slew of goals ended in a heavy 1-4 defeat.
Der Stadtclub will be confident of finding the net in this one against Grasshoppers, with an impressive scoring record of at least 1 goal in their previous 11 encounters between the two sides. Goals come easy for Zürich when they travel to GCZ, having recorded 7 goals in their past 3 visits and an impressive average of 2.33 goals per match.
In the league, Grasshoppers has had a poor run at home against Zürich, being unable to secure a win from any of their last 5 meetings at Stadion Letzigrund.
