Yverdon vs Grasshoppers tips and predictions

Yverdon warrant consideration for Club Friendly clash

These teams come from different leagues but some of these stats provide reason to believe in the hosts. While it isn't very unusual to see the big price for the home team they shouldn't be dismissed.

For sure the visitors are the superior side but you might be at a loss as to why they are quite so short.

Yverdon supporters will look at Grasshoppers's recent results for evidence that they are there for the taking. Defeats have slowly been mounting up for this group of away players over their last 18 fixtures. They've lost 9 of them. For such a short priced team you might have wanted a better return than this.

It won't surprise anyone to see them have too much for Yverdon but they are not a dead-cert and a home win seems a reasonable suggestion.

Yverdon need to focus on the task in hand if they are to continue causing problems. They scored at least once in all of their recent 3 matches.

Grasshoppers have actually conceded at least once in 14 of their last 15 matches. And the home side will be looking for evidence that they don't have to expect carnage. In front of goal the visitors have seemed hesitant. They've scored one or less goals in all of their last 7 away matches.

In their last game Grasshoppers were humbled 5-1 by Schaffhausen.

To be fair, it might be a turn-up for the books just to see the sides end up in deadlock. The sportsbooks are predicting goals at both ends of the park despite the favouritism for Grasshoppers. However the odds-against for the No BTTS is actually the best bet from that market. Obviously all of this depends on how the hosts deal with a level of football they aren't used to.
