Grasshoppers vs Sion tips and predictions

Sion to struggle

The jury is out on this one and it should be a good game.

For Grasshoppers to come through this challenge they'll need to build on the positives of their recent displays. The hosts have logged 4 wins from their last 5 home games. With less success than expected the travelling side has failed to deliver at times. They've lost 2 of their last 5 matches. That doesn't look like the recent record of a team that will fancy their chances.

The hosts have enjoyed some form on their own turf. Grasshoppers scored two or more goals in 8 of their recent 10 home matches and that's been backed up throughout their ranks. At the back they've conceded no more than once in 3 of their last 4 games.

Sion have actually conceded three or more goals in 6 of their last 20 matches. It's not a trend they want to continue given the task ahead of them.

Playing devil's advocate they may end up with honours even. The sportsbooks' prices indicate that neither side will keep a clean sheet during this match as they can both be effective in front of goal. However the odds-against for the No BTTS is actually the standout from that market.
