Zurich will host Young Boys at Letzigrund on Sunday in another round of the 2023-24 Swiss Super League campaign.
The home side have struggled for results of late but continue their push for the Championship round at the end of the regular season. They were beaten 2-0 by Lugano in their last league outing before losing by the same scoreline to Winterthur in the quarterfinals of the Schweizer Cup on Wednesday.
Zurich sit fourth in the league table with 39 points and will be hopeful of adding to that tally on Sunday.
Young Boys have also hit a rough patch of late but remain hopeful of clinching a second consecutive Super League title at the end of the campaign. They were beaten 1-0 by Servette last time out in the league before crashing out of the domestic cup during the week following a 2-1 away defeat to Sion.
The visitors sit atop the league standings with 51 points from 25 matches. They will be looking to shake off their latest results and get their campaign back on track this weekend.
