Yverdon vs Zurich Prediction 22 May 2025

Yverdon's chances of retaining their spot in the league next season depends on this fixture. However, they have not been able to exert dominance since the playoffs, remaining winless in each contest. On the other hand, Zurich struggled in each of their four road matches in the playoffs, and the same might happen in this one too. However, the chance of Yverdon winning this game looks low despite being favoured. Yet, their home turf advantage and fans could play an important role in this game as they should boost their competitiveness. This is clearly an open game for grabs and I expect desire from both teams. Therefore, with focus on avoiding defeat, both teams could settle for a defensive play. Also, with Zurich playing better and being the side with the better squad, I will back them to get within the line, as a draw looks like the best result Yverdon could get at full time.
