Winterthur vs Zurich Prediction: Both teams have a statement to make.

Stadion Schützenwiese will host the Swiss Super League encounter between Winterthur and Zurich. The two teams have been poor this season and will need to prove a point. Which team wins this one? Below, we look into the previews of this game and make predictions. 

Winterthur

Winterthur are coming off a league defeat against Yverdon and will hope to do better. In a game that ended 3-0, Boris Cespedes, Marley Ake, and Moussa Baradji were enough to see this team take maximum points. Heading into this game, Winterthur have a winless run of four matches. In those games, this team lost three and drew Young Boys. This season, Winterthur have 14 points from 21 matches, having the fewest points accumulated this season. Winterthur have scored only 18 goals this season and conceded 46 in the same run. 

Zurich

Zurich are coming off a league encounter against Basel, which they lost. In a game that ended 0-1, Kevin's strike in the 36th minute was all their opponent needed to take maximum points after Mounir Chouiar's strike missed from the spot for this team. However, Zurich have faced defeat in four of their last six matches, losing to Schalke, Fethiyespor, and Luzern. Ahead of this game, Zurich have 30 points from their first 21 matches of the season, which sees them sit 8th. In those matches, Zurich scored 26 goals while conceding 29 in the same run. 

Expert Betting Tips

Winterthur are performing below par this season, and they will need to do more to win. While Zurich have been inconsistent and struggled, being on the road will not also be an advantage for them. This will be a close contest, and with their last meetings ending with goals, I expect a similar outcome. However, with Zurich being the better side, I will back them to win at full time. 

My first option is a win for Zurich with odds at 2.04 on 1Xbet

My second option is over 2.5 goals with odds at 1.80 on Bet365

My last option is both teams scoring with odds at 1.65 on Betway
