Different from expected the match between
Grasshopper Zurich and
Young Boys Bern will take place in Swiss Super League on Sunday. Instead of a tie between two contenders for the title, it will be a match between two winless teams that found themselves at the botton of the table. At least the sensational win of the Young Boys at Fenerbahce last Wednesday gives hope.
The Grasshoppers had to release six of their best players before the start of the season and try to replace them with trainees now. As a result they made only two points in their three matches.
The Young Boys didn't do much better. They also made only two points so far and even lost at the relegation candidates AC Bellinzona last Sunday. Their squad actually should have enough quality to play at the top. This also verifies their spectacular success in Champions League qualification, where they just kicked out Fenerbahce Istanbul.

Despite their four games in the last two weeks, the win in Istanbul should bring the confidence back to the Young Boys. Not an easy match, but the Young Boys should finally find back to success.
