Bo Henriksen will have some work to do building up his players after their 3-0 away thrashing at the hands of Yverdon-Sport.  During that encounter they had 56% possession and had 15 attempts on goal with 5 on target, while their opponents hit 5 of their 8 shots on goal.  

Having scored 4 goals and conceded 10 in their last 6 games, they will need to improve at both ends if they are to pick up more points from here on.  They have failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 games.  

There will be mixed feelings from Der Stadtclub, although undefeated in their last 4 league games at home, 3 of these games ended in a draw.

The Grasshoppers squad will be suffering from a feeling of disappointment after falling to a 1-0 home defeat against Winterthur, which saw them drop all three points and come away from the game empty-handed.  In that game they had 53% possession and managed 11 attempts on goal, with 1 on target, compared to Winterthur who had 7 attempts and 3 on target.  

While they have been reasonably effective at circumventing their opponents defence, scoring 4 in their last 6 games, it's largely been tit for tat with their own defence proving to be equally ineffectual, conceding 4, and leading to valuable points being dropped.   So far this season they have conceded a goal at least once in 18 of their 22 games.  

They've had a bad run of form away from home recently, having lost 4 of their last 6 on the road and managing just 1 win.  

Tsiy-William Ndenge will be keen to add his name to the scoresheet and build on his current scoring record of 3 goals in the last 6 league games for Grasshoppers.
