Zurich vs Winterthur Prediction: Zurich to keep things running

Letzigrund will host the Swiss Super League game between Zurich and Winterthur. The two teams started their season with a win. How will they perform in game 2?

Zurich

Zurich are coming off a win against Shelbourne in the Conference League qualifier. In that encounter, Zurich scored twice within the first 29 minutes of the game, with Ifeanyi Matthew and Antonio Marchesano getting on the scoresheet. However, a second-half 58th-minute strike by Marchesano was good enough to see this team have a good advantage going into the second leg. While they also won their first league game against Yverdon, Zurich headed into this game, seated third in the league standings with three solid points.

Winterthur

Winterthur secured a much-needed win in their season's opening game against St. Gallen. In that encounter, in the 70th minute, Matteo Di Giusto's strike proved to be the difference. However, this team made just two attempts to reach the goal and had just 39 percent of the possession, which they will look to improve. Heading into this game, Winterthur have won all their last seven matches in all competitions, a record they will look to continue. 

Expert Betting Tips

This game will be competitive, but I am rooting for Zurich. This team has been very good and organized at home, and I expect them to keep things running. While Winterthur struggled last season, their preseason performance and opening games will boost their confidence. Yet, Zurich are in a better position and have the advantage to win a game that should end with goals.
