Grasshoppers, Recent FormGrasshoppers will not be too troubled by their 2-0 away defeat against Young Boys Bern, given the latter currently sit 14 places further up the league table than they do. Their share of possession in that meeting was 38%, while racking up 7 shots along the way, 1 of which were on target, in contrast to Young Boys Bern, who had 21 shots on goal with 7 on target.
While they have been reasonably effective at circumventing their opponents defence, scoring 7 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. This season, their defensive frailties have certainly been apparent, having conceded at least 1 goal in 24 of their 27 league games. Few teams have managed to keep GCZ away from their goal, having scored in all but 3 of their games this season.
They have had a good run of form at Stadion Letzigrund recently, having won 4 out of their last 6 home games.
Guilherme Schettine 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.
Sion, Recent FormGrabbing a valuable league point from their recent 2-2 draw against Servette will have been seen as a reasonably decent result for Sion. In that game they had 37% possession and managed 11 attempts on goal, with 3 on target, compared to Servette who had 16 attempts and 6 on target.
Their boss David Bettoni is sure to be taking a close look at his defence, who have given away 14 goals over the last 6 matches and yet amazingly still managed to collect some valuable points during this poor defensive spell due to their 6 goals scored. On the road, they are showing great consistency in finding the back of the net, having scored in 4 of their last 6 away games. They are struggling defensively and as a result have failed to keep a clean sheet in their last 12 games.
Having drawn 3 of their last 6 away games they have at least put some points on the board, but they will not be overly happy with only 1 win.
On an individual basis, Giovanni Sio will be looking to cause Grasshoppers some problems having scored 3 goals in Sion's last 6 away games in the league.
In the previous league meeting between these two sides, it was Grasshoppers that came out on top with a 1-2 win.
Goals should be on the cards for Sion in this one, given they have found the net, with at least 1 goal, against Grasshoppers in their last 9 meetings together. Sion 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.
Sion remains without a victory against Grasshoppers in their previous 3 league encounters.
Giovanni Sio has scored in each of Sion's last league game against Grasshoppers.
With no real injury worries, Grasshoppers manager Giorgio Contini will be happy to have his full squad available for selection.
Sion manager David Bettoni has no real injury worries ahead of this clash.
