Yverdon vs Grasshopper Prediction: Relegation battle continues in a must-win contest

Stade Municipal will host the Swiss Super League encounter between Yverdon and Grasshopper. The two teams settled for a draw in their most recent meeting. Will there be a winner in this one? Below, I preview this game and offer predictions.

Yverdon

Yverdon played Young Boys the previous weekend and they took a point away from home. In that game, Yverdon had 43 per percent of the possession with a 2.08 expected goal ratio. However, Fode Sylla's early strike in the first half was enough to see this team avoid a defeat as Fassnacht continued his scoring record for Young Boys in the second half. Ahead of this game, Yverdon have now avoided defeat in five of their last six matches as they continue to fight against relegation. Yverdon sit 10th in the standings with 33 points, scoring 32 goals with 50 conceded.

Grasshopper

Grasshopper secured a shocking but much-needed victory the previous weekend against Luzern and will hope for a similar result here. In a 3-1 contest, this team won each half, with Adama Bojan putting them in the lead before the break. However, a second-half brace from Adama Bojang was enough to see this team secure maximum points after Luzern levelled the score just nine minutes into the half. However, prior encounters to that win saw Grasshopper go winless in four consecutive matches, losing three and drawing one.

Head-to-Head Statistics

The last meetings between these sides saw Yverdon win two, while Grasshopper won one, as the two others ended in a 1-1 identical scoreline. In those matches, Yverdon scored seven, with Grasshopper scoring seven.
