Before the duel Grasshoppers vs. Servette Geneva speak the odds unsurprisingly for the first division.
Grasshoppers:
In the last season it was so far: After a chaotic season 2018/19 Grasshopper Club Zurich had to descend for the first time in 70 years and the second time in his club’s history in the second division. The Swiss record champion then went with a very high for the Challenge League budget of 13.6-million in the new season, but still did not want to spend the immediate re-emergence as a goal.
16 players left the club, many new ones were committed. On the coaching chair held on to coach Uli Forte, who had already taken over the club in April in the first division. Forte had coached the club already in the season 2012/13 and had become with the GCZ Cup winner and runner-up.
In addition, Forte knows how to rise from the Challenge League. The coach had already led St. Gallen and FC Zurich back to the top league. The low stacking of Zurich does not really fit the big budget. In the second division only the Lausanne-Sport can compete financially with the Hoppers.
After five games in the second division, this picture is also noticeable. Lausanne is at the top of the table with 13 points. The Grasshoppers follow with eleven points in second place. With three wins from the first three league games, the men of Coach Forte had started well into the new season.
Now the blue and white wait but with a defeat and two draws for three games to a victory in the league. Away, the Hoppers are unbeaten with two wins and a draw. In front of their own fans, there were only four points in three games so far. Thus falls in the cup match Grasshoppers vs.. Servette Geneva a forecast on the home side not so easy.
In the international break was with Fredy Bickel also a new sports director committed. Bickel had already worked for the club from 1992 to 1999 and had since worked for the Young Boys, FC Zurich and Rapid Wien.
He takes over the new office from 1 October. Chief scout Paul Bollendorf, however, had to leave the relegated. In addition, the GCZ committed end of August still the 30-year-old Serbian-Swiss striker Danijel Subotic.
Servette Geneva:
The surprise in the 2019/20 Super League season so far is certainly the newly promoted Servette Geneva. The Grenats made for the first matchday with a 1: 1 at Master Bern equal times for a big exclamation point. Geneva is currently in fourth place with a total of two wins and three draws. The only defeat came on the fourth matchday in Basel.
The traditional club Servette Geneva, which was able to win 17 championships and seven cup victories in Switzerland, surprised as a climber with brave performances, a great playful level and a closed team performance. In addition, the team, which had scored 90 goals in the previous season in 36 games, his salvation is still often on the offensive.
Geneva became sovereign in the Challenge League in the preseason with a lead of 15 points on Aarau. Thus, the Southwest Swiss returned after five seasons in the second division and a year in league three back into the Super League. Despite a limited budget, promotion coach Alain Geiger was able to retain his most important players.
In the last league game before the international break, it was enough at home against Neuchatel Xamax only to 2: 2. After a 0: 2 deficit to the break, the Grenats had to be satisfied with the point at the end. Thus, the promoted at home but remains unbeaten.
