The 2-0 away defeat to Luzern will not have sat easily with the Grasshoppers squad, who would not have been pleased to squander all three points.  During that encounter they had 47% possession and had 6 attempts on goal with 3 on target, while their opponents hit 6 of their 19 shots on goal.  

It's reasonable to say they have enjoyed some decent goal scoring form of late, with 7 goals notched up in their last 6 matches, but while their offensive line is working, their defensive setup has shown cause for concern with 9 goals shipped and valuable points dropped.  So far this season they have conceded at least 1 goal in 12 of their 13 games.  

Losing 4 of their last 6 matches will concern them, but they have picked up some important points by winning the other 2 of these games.

In the aftermath of a 5-2 home mauling at the hands of St. Gallen, the Stade Lausanne-Ouchy team will need to refocus and rebuild confidence among the team.  Their share of possession in that meeting was 51%, while racking up 8 shots along the way, 4 of which were on target. St. Gallen had 19 shots on goal with 11 on target.  

Manager Anthony Braizat will be shining a spotlight on his team's poor defensive record of late, having conceded 13 goals in their last 6 games, despite picking up a modest amount of points due in no small part to the 9 goals they managed at the other end.   They have scored in 5 of their last 6 away games, but so far this season they have conceded a goal at least once in 11 of their 12 games overall.  

They've had a less than ideal run of form recently, winning just 1 of their last 6 games.  

On an individual basis, Alban Ajdini will be looking to cause Grasshoppers some problems having scored 2 goals in Stade Lausanne-Ouchy's last 6 away games in the league.
