It should be noted that the Hoppers themselves have only won one of their last five league games (two draws, two defeats). Nevertheless, the Zurich team had far fewer problems to contend with than their city rivals, who recently even made adjustments to the coaching position and are now being looked after by Genesio Colatrella on an interim basis.
In our eyes, this results in a good opportunity for an interesting outside bet. We therefore risk Tip 1 at Grasshoppers against FC Zurich and are betting that the Hoppers will exacerbate the crisis of their city rivals. The use of a risk-free free bet is a good way to secure this. Those who make such no-deposit bets possible are discussed in the linked post.

Locusts – Stats & Current Form
The Grasshopper Club Zurich is still the record champion in Switzerland with 27 championships won. In the 2022/23 season, however, the Zurich team’s last title so far will be 20 years old.
Most recently, the Hoppers only spent two years between 2019 and 2021 in the second-rate Challenge League. After returning to the Super League this summer, they managed to stay up in the league at least as eighth in the final table.
For ten derbies without a win against FCZ
In the second year under Giorgio Contini, GC will now continue to establish itself in the Super League, for which it would also be desirable if arch-rivals FC Zurich could finally be beaten again. Recently, the Hoppers have not won any of the last ten Limmat derbies (four draws, six defeats).
At least the record champions are currently ten points better than their city rivals. With twelve out of a possible 24 points GC is currently fifth and can go into the derby with their heads held high. The last home game brought a 3-0 win over bottom side Winterthur.
Won just one of their last five league games
However, that threesome was Zurich’s only win in the last five league games (two draws, two defeats). The record champions are not completely free of problems, which is why Grasshoppers against FC Zurich tip 1 is anything but a sure-fire success and should be secured if necessary.
Not only was regular keeper André Moreira suddenly injured, who will be replaced by youngster Justin Hammel in the next few weeks, but also important defensive players such as Florian Hoxha (torn cross), Noah Loosli and Ayumu Seko (both suspended).
Estimated lineup of locusts:
Mutton – Li – Ribeiro – Margreitter – Bolla – Schmid – Kawabe – Abrashi – Momoh – Morandi – Dadasov

FC Zurich – Statistics & current form
FC Zurich has so far won 13 national championships and ten overall victories in the Swiss Cup. In recent years it has always been very quiet for the city club, which spent a year in the second division in 2016/17 and then also fought against relegation.
But then came the 2021/22 season André Breitenreiter, who led FCZ to the championship title practically out of nowhere. The fact that the German followed the lure of TSG Hoffenheim back to the Bundesliga is obviously also a reason for the current misery.
Only two out of a possible 24 points from the first eight league games
The city club signed a well-known successor in Franco Foda, but he was in no way able to match the surprise success of the previous season. Not only did FCZ only go to the Europa League after missing the Champions League qualification, where after two defeats they started fourth in Group A.
The people of Zurich stayed also without a win in eight games in the Super League (two draws, six defeats) and most recently failed in the Swiss Cup, after which those responsible put Franco Foda out of the door.
Will the turnaround succeed under interim coach Colatrella?
Genesio Colatrella is currently in charge of the club on an interim basis, but the 50-year-old does not have a UEFA Pro license and is therefore only allowed to take the helm until October 13th. The search for a coach at the city club is currently under high pressure, for which the Limmat derby comes at the worst possible time.
Despite the fact that the last six competitive games in the series were all lost, the betting providers still believe FCZ is capable of turning the tide. The bookmaker ADMIRALBET tested by Wettbasis offers odds of 2.35 for tip 2 at Grasshoppers vs. FC Zurich.
Estimated formation of FC Zurich:
Crusher – Aliti – Mets – Kamberi – Boranijasevic – Selnaes – Conde – Guerrero – Marchesano – Avidjaj – Tosin

Statistics highlights for Grasshoppers versus FC Zurich
Betting Base Prediction & Grasshoppers – FC Zurich Tip
Although the Hoppers have not won any of the last ten Limmat derbies, the prognosis for the Grasshoppers against FC Zurich is slightly in the direction of Giorgio Contini’s team. After all, GC got from the first eight league games already ten points more than the city clubwho is still without a win in the Super League and has lost all of the last six competitive games in all competitions.
Key facts – Grasshoppers vs. FC Zurich tip
- FC Zürich is unbeaten in ten competitive games against Grasshoppers (six wins, four draws)
- Grasshoppers have won just one of their last five league games (draw two, lose two)
- FC Zurich only got two of 24 points from the first eight league games
Nevertheless, the recent change of coach at FCZ can probably turn the encounter upside down, especially since the Hoppers have personal problems and theirs too win just one of their last five league games could.
We still risk tip 1, for which Grasshoppers vs. FC Zurich have betting odds of 2.90. With the practical Bet365 app, however, we leave it at three units and in this way take into account the risk that the FCZ will succeed in turning the tide in the derby of all places.
