Grasshopper vs Zurich Prediction

Zurich's title defence has not gone according to plan, as they went from winning an unlikely league crown to battling relegation in the space of a few months. However, they have turned a positive corner in recent weeks, with their five-game unbeaten streak boosting their survival hopes.

Grasshopper, meanwhile, registered a long-awaited victory over their city rivals last time out and will now look for the double.

The fact that this is a city derby means both teams will give their all to register city bragging rights in addition to three points on offer. Although either team could nick a win, the two sides could cancel each other out in a low-scoring draw.

Prediction: Grasshopper 1-1 Zurich
