Zurich vs Xamax Prediction & Betting tips
The Swiss teams on international level have a week to forget. Both FC Basel (against LASK Linz) and FC Luzern (against Espanyol Barcelona) suffered defeats in qualifying.
To forget are also the previous results of FC Zurich in the Swiss Championship. The traditional club looks back on a catastrophic start to the season and already feels great pressure. This weekend is the Krisenduell between FC Zurich and Xamax Neuchatel!
Xamax, who were able to fix the league in the Barrage games in a spectacular way last year, also disappointed in the new season. With two draws and a defeat, the team from Neuchâtel currently occupy ninth place in the table. Thus, the two taillights facing the league. In addition, it is a duel Magnin against Magnin. However, Ludovic (FCZ) and Joel (Xamax) are not related.
Despite only one point this season is the FC Zurich against Xamax Neuchatel according to current quotas at the bookmakers the clear favorite. The pressure on the hosts in Letzigrund, however, is enormous and Value is not present at these prices. The game starts on Sunday at 15 pm.
FC Zurich:
After only three match days, FC Zurich has to speak of a crisis. Three games, no win, only one goal scored and tenth place – in the final of the Super League! The air for the former Bundesliga professional Ludovic Magnin is getting thinner and thinner. At the same time he has to experience first-hand how bitter football can be.
Soberly looked FC Zurich delivered in the first three games quite passable performance. At the start of the season the FCZ had much more possession and a goal shooting ratio of 16:12 against Lugano – the result was devastating with 0: 4. This was followed by a goalless draw at FC Lucerne – the only point win so far.
Last weekend in the Tourbillon of FC Sion the victory was again close at hand. Benjamin Kololli took over shortly after his substitution responsibility and failed the score of 1: 1 from the penalty spot. Sion had to act after the penalty to ten, but could still achieve two goals and shot the FCZ finally in the crisis. Nevertheless, President Canepa is behind his head coach.
In the next two home games but also the results must fit. The pressure is already great at the FCZ and in the appropriate situation certainly not conducive.
Xamax Neuchatel:
Despite a 4-0 defeat in the first leg of the Barrage Xamax could still fix the miracle and secure the league whereabouts. Compared to this game, however, the club has done a lot. For one sits with Joel Magnin a coach on the bench, who has so far had no experience as the head coach of a professional team. On the other hand, the squad is probably much weaker than last year and is described by many experts as the weakest in the whole league.
Although there are several newcomers, but these all come from – sometimes significantly – weaker leagues to Magnin Elf. A simple task looks different. In addition, club president Christian Binggeli is a gambler, who made some controversial decisions last year. Due to lack of financial resources, the youth is given a chance and Joel Magnin as a former junior coach in the Young Boys (twelve years) considered the perfect solution.
Two draws and a narrow 1-0 defeat to champions Young Boys came in the first three games. Although Joel Magnin still has to wait for his first win in the Super League, but the results could have been much weaker. Magnin was aware of what he was getting into. Lack of quality compared to the competition is compensated by much effort, courage and passion.
These are all attributes that have not necessarily distinguished FC Zurich in recent months. The fans in Neuchâtel reward this and applauded the players even in the 0-1 defeat against YB. While the mood in the basement is at FCZ and the pressure is high, there is a certain euphoria at Xamax despite only two points. The squirrel has a hard time feeding itself. According to this saying, between the FC Zurich and Xamax Neuchatel the betting odds for a prognosis on further point increase of the guests are quite to be taken into consideration.
