Grasshoppers vs Yverdon match prediction 14 May 2025

After incredible performances against St. Gallen and Sion, it definitely will be disappointing if Yverdon loses this game. However, those matches have come at home stadium, and it is now left to see how Yverdon approaches this crucial game as they look to avoid relegation. In the meantime, after disappointing and struggling performances against Zurich and Winterthur, it is now left to see how Grasshoppers will display character in this game, as they look to end their poor runs, with league games left with nine more points to win here. This will not be an easy task for either team, as a win could turn both teams’ season around. Yet, having taken a look at their past meetings, I feel Yverdon could at least won at least an half in this game, while we expect goals from both teams.
