We are back to Letzigrund where Zurich will play for the second consecutive time. In this game, they will take on a motivated Winterthur side that have won four consecutive games. The last meeting at Stadion Schutzenwiese ended in a goalless draw. Will there be a different outcome in this fixture? Find the full game previews and carefully picked winning options. 

Zurich: Form and Statistics

Zurich will hope to draw momentum from their 3-0 win over Grasshoppers during the weekend when they take on Winterthur. In that encounter, this team needed just 22 minutes to go 2-0 up, with Cheveyo Tsawa and Jahnoah Markelo’s strikes being the difference. However, Damienus Reverson in the final minutes of the game was enough to see this team seal maximum points after losing to Sion in their playoff opener. However, prior encounters saw this team go winless in five consecutive games, losing three and drawing two. Zurich sit top of the relegation group with 50 points, and are mathematically safe from relegation with three matches left to play.

Zurich Lineup

Only three injury concerns for Ricardo Moniz’s side ahead of this Tuesday’s match. Fernand Goure is dealing with a knee injury, while Juan José Perea has an achilles tendon rupture which is keeping him out of the squad. Benjamin Mendy is not yet fit from his torn muscle fiber and will not be available for selection. 

🔖 Zurich Expected Lineup (4-3-1-2)

Yanick Brecher (GK), Lindrit Kamberi, Mariano Gomez, Jean-Philippe Gbamin, Calixte Ligue, Cheveyo Tsawa, Miguel Reichmuth, Bledian Krasniqi, Steven Zuber, Mounir Chouiar, Jahnoah Markelo

👤 Head Coach: Ricardo Moniz

Winterthur: Form and Statistics

Winterthur have been impressive in the final games of the season and the visitors will look to keep the energy in this road fixture. The previous time out, this team made it four consecutive league victories, and their sixth game without suffering a defeat. In fact, Winterthur had to complete a comeback win over St. Gallen in their weekend game, needing goals from Matteo Di Giusto, Josias Lukembila, Nishan Burkart, and Labinot Bajrani to seal maximum points. However, this team has defeated Grasshoppers in consecutive games, Lausanne, and Sion in their recent games, while settling for a 1-1 draw with Zurich. In the standings, Winterthur have 36 points and sit 10th, being a point ahead of relegation placed Yverdon. 

Winterthur Lineup

Uli Forte will definitely be happy with the same squad that pulled off a comeback against St. Gallen last weekend. However, Fabian Rohner remains out of the squad list due to a cruciate ligament tear while Tobias Schättin is in doubt of making the traveling list.  

🔖 Winterthur Expected Lineup (4-2-3-1)

Stefanos Kapino (GK), Dario Ulrich, Remo Arnold, Loïc Lüthi, Silvan Sidler, Alexandre Jankewitz, Luca Zuffi, Josias Lukembila, Matteo Di Giusto, Nishan Burkart, Christian Gomis

⛔️Unavailable: Tobias Schättin, Fabian Rohner (both injured)

👤 Head Coach: Uli Forte

Zurich vs Winterthur Prediction 13 May 2025

This is a game where the two teams have to give their all and on the road, Winterthur will have to show a high level of defensive play, while being potent in attack. After a struggling run of games, Zurich seemed to have picked up their best performance against Grasshoppers, which is definitely a warning to Winterthur who will have to show more determination and energy in the full minutes of the game. With the attacking level of Winterthur, I doubt if this Zurich side can stop them despite a goalless encounter in their last meeting. Also, considering the bookies’ odds, I will back Zurich to take maximum points.
