FC Zurich vs Grasshoppers Prediction

We expect an electric atmosphere in and around Stadion Letzigrund on Tuesday evening when local rivals Zurich and Grasshoppers take on each other in the first game of Matchday No 8.

Zurich enter the game as the favorites according to the bookies. They’ve been much better so far in the season and they are actually one of just two unbeaten teams in the opening seven rounds of the competition.

That said, Zurich are also winless in three straight Super League matches. They failed to break the deadlock in the weekend’s disappointing goalless draw away at Lausanne Sport.

Bo Henriksen’s men are still just a single point shy of leaders Young Boys and they will be super-motivated to return to winning ways just in this tie against bitter city rivals.

Grasshoppers are not pulling up any trees at the beginning of the new season. They have won just of seven league fixtures since the beginning of the 2023/24 campaign.

Bruno Berner’s squad took only one point from the previous four Super League affairs. It came three days ago when they got lucky to avoid the home defeat to St. Gallen.

Latest Meetings

Zurich lead the overall tie by a single win going into the 102nd meeting with Grasshoppers.

Zurich will also go into this on the back of two separate 2-1 wins over Grasshoppers in the previous two encounters.

We have seen goals at both ends in each of the previous ten matches between these counterparts.

The Verdict

This match represents an ideal chance for Zurich to return to winning ways after recent slip-ups. They’ve been much better so far in the season and we like the home win pick at the 1.65 odds.

Since Grasshoppers’ back line has been anything but reliable so far in the season, we will alternatively take Zurich to net two or more goals on Tuesday at the 1.61 odds.
