Grasshopper Club Zurich
- Grasshopper Club Zurich have won only two of their nine Super League matches this season at the Letzigrund.
- GCZ have lost their last two at home, which doesn’t bode well for them here.
FC Thun
- FC Thun will be looking to maintain their lead at the summit of the Super League 2025-2026 table when they face Grasshopper Club Zurich in a league match on Sunday.
- FC Thun have won seven and lost only two of their nine away league fixtures in 2025/2026.
- The visitors have won two, drawn two and lost one of their last five.
Head-to-Head
- This isn’t the fiercest rivalry in the Super League, but the last two meetings between the sides have been tight, with GCZ claiming a 1-1 draw in the reverse fixture four months ago.
- Gerald Scheiblehner took over at GCZ in July 2025 and has implemented a pragmatic system that is compact and hard to break down.
- They sit deep, cede possession and try to hit teams on the counterattack with direct play down the wings.
- Mauro Lustrinelli’s Thun are a different beast altogether, however, having been led by him since July 2022.
- His teams press relentlessly, winning the ball back high up the field and being aggressive in their pursuit of second balls.
- They are a real threat from wide areas and on set pieces, as well as in transition when teams over-commit.
Key Players
- Luke Plange has been in excellent form for the hosts, scoring four of their past nine goals in five appearances.
- Thun’s Christopher Ibayi tops their scoring charts, however, with eight in 19 and they will have to keep tabs on the forward all game.
- Kastriot Imeri has three assists in his last five appearances for Thun and he has been a driving force behind their strong run of seven goals in the past five games.
Betting Insights
- Thun are priced at 2.2 favourites to win this, while GCZ are 3.0, and we believe the visitors can edge out their hosts in what should be a high-scoring game.
- Over 2.5 goals is priced up at 1.6 and looks a good bet for this encounter, as the styles of these two sides should lead to an end-to-end game.
- Thun have been prolific on the road, averaging 2.11 goals and 1.11 conceded per away game.
- GCZ have scored 15 times in nine home games, an average of 1.67 gpg.
Prediction
As for the winner, Thun have been outstanding on the road this term and their away record is superior to that of GCZ overall, so we’re going with the away side to win this one.
