Grasshoppers host high-flying Sion following mixed early results
Third-placed FC Sion travel to Zurich looking to maintain their strong start to the campaign against a Grasshoppers side seeking consistency after seven games.
Grasshoppers sit 8th with 8 points and enter this fixture following a 1-0 away victory against FC Thun. While they have struggled for defensive stability, notably conceding five in a recent defeat to FC Vaduz, they are currently on a three-match unbeaten run. The club is navigating a period of transition after the departure of manager Gerald Scheiblehner earlier in 2026.
FC Sion have made an impressive start, sitting 3rd on 15 points, just four points off the top of the table. They have won four of their last five matches, including a dominant 3-0 away win at FC St. Gallen last time out. With two consecutive away victories under their belt, the visitors hold the clear momentum heading into this clash.
