Grasshoppers Hold Edge Over Struggling Lausanne
Grasshoppers sit 11th in the table after collecting 10 points from 12 games, two more than bottom club Lausanne. Their recent record shows just two defeats in five matches compared with Lausanne losing four of their last five. At home this season Grasshoppers have scored 1.5 goals per game while Lausanne manage only 0.3 goals per game on the road. Head to head meetings over the past ten fixtures produced five draws and two wins for Grasshoppers. Both sides have kept few clean sheets and conceded more than 1.8 goals per game on average across the campaign. The low scoring away record of Lausanne points to a contest that could stay close throughout. Grasshoppers home attacking output will likely test a Lausanne defence that has shipped goals regularly on its travels.
