GC Zurich and Young Boys will battle for three points in a Swiss Super League matchday 20 clash on Saturday (January 25th). The game will be played at Letzigrund Stadion.
The hosts will be looking to build on a 1-0 away win over Sion last weekend. They suffered an early setback when Saulo Decarli was sent off in the fourth minute. Tomas Veron scored the match-winner in the 64th minute as the 10-man visitors went on to claim maximum points.
Young Boys, meanwhile, fell to a 1-0 defeat away to Celtic in their penultimate UEFA Champions League phase game. Loris Benito scored an unfortunate own goal in the 86th minute to decide the game.
YB will shift their focus to the domestic scene where their last game saw them share the spoils in a goalless draw at home to Winterthur.
The stalemate left them in ninth spot in the table, having garnered 24 points from 19 games. Grasshoppers are 10th on 18 points.
