On saturday Xamax hosts at the own Stade de la Maladiere Grasshoppers Zürich. After the international break for the WC 2010 qualifiers and the round of the last 16 in the Swiss Cup this will be the first regular championship game since the 9th of november 2009.
Xamax Neuchatel vs Grasshoppers Club Zürich
Saturday, 28th of november 2009, 5:45pm
Stade de la Maladiere, Neuchatel
Xamax - a few rounds ago facing tank 2 of the table - has to accept 2 defeats and two draws in the last 5 games of the Axpo Superleague afore a 4:2 victory against FC St. Gallen. Also in the Swiss Cup they lost last week at home with 0:1 versus Young Boys Bern, so Xamax Neuchatel is still winless since the 17th of october 2009!
But Grasshoppers doesn't face a better result during this season. At the moment they face rank 7 of the table, 6 points behind Xamax. At the AXPO Super League the won 2 games of the last 5 and had to share the points in one game. The games in St. Gallen (0:1) and in Basel (1:3) was lost during this 5 game period.
At the direct Head 2 Head comparison of the two taditional clubs the Grasshoppers won 28 games, Xamax only 12, when 13 games ended with a draw. The last win of GCZ dated back over one year to the 16th of november 2009!
My tipp: Xamax wins the homegame very tight. Best odd for this result you will find at the moment at Bet365 with 2,15!
