Grasshopper Club Zurich
- Grasshopper Club Zurich currently sit fifth in the Super League relegation group with 27 points from 35 games, while FC Winterthur are sixth, seven points adrift, from an identical number of games played.
- Interim boss Gernot Messner has been in charge of the club since March 2026 and he has immediately turned the focus onto survival by making the team ultra pragmatic and flexible.
- He sets them up in a solid low block and prefers to absorb pressure before either countering or threatening with set pieces - a tactic which has seen them average 1.28 goals per game scored and conceded 1.78 per-game at home this term.
- Hassane Imourane top-scores for them in the Super League relegation group with one goal in two appearances and could provide a spark in a blunted frontline for a team currently on a three-game losing streak, having failed to win their last two home games.
FC Winterthur
- Patrick Rahmen has been in charge of FC Winterthur since October 2025 and has never strayed from his 3-4-1-2 system, which utilises wing-backs and focuses on high-tempo, attacking football.
- They have conceded 54 goals in their 18 away games.
- Winterthur have won just one of their last five in all competitions (W1, D1, L3) and their away form is even worse, with two defeats from their last two away trips.
Head-to-Head
Grasshopper won the last two meetings, including a 2-0 victory away from home just three weeks ago .

Prediction
Although Grasshopper are in poor form, I am going for them to just about edge out Winterthur in this clash, but both teams have been vulnerable at the back lately so the BTTS market may offer some value .
