Five rounds till the end of the season, Aarau is in quite a difficult situation as the team stands at rock bottom position at the table, six points below Vaduz. No doubt that the game against Grasshoppers comes for them as a must win situation, while even that three pointer wouldn’t improve the things much.
Anyhow, their is no doubt the hosts will be going for all three points, as if it was their last chance. Unfortunately for them, they haven’t been in a very good form of late, coming from three games without victory, last time losing at home with a 2:6 defeat against Luzern last Sunday evening. Even though it was a four goals difference defeat, overall impression is that they probably deserved to lose with two goals difference for example, but the defensive lineup was simply making too many mistakes, while their offensive part wasn’t that bad at all. Rather unimportant for this season, striker Edgars Guaracs (2/1) is injured and won’t perform here. Central defender Marco Thaler (21/0) is suspended for this one, while other central back Juan Pablo Garat isn’t 100 ready for the game, but will probably play.
Grasshoppers, on the other side, is having terrible season – better to say terrible second part of the season as they managed to get only three victories since the re-start back in February. Currently, the team is without a victory in last five matches, being third from the bottom with nine points more than
Being nine points is secure enough from relegation, but no doubt that the team will want to remain undefeated here and remove all the doubts regarding the relegation battle. As said, they have no victory in last five matches, with the last one being defeat 2:1 away to Basel, where the team actually gave quite a decent performance, but were overpowered in the second half, even though they had a lead during the first fourty-five minutes. Guests will miss injured left back Daniel Pavlovic (22/0) who should be their only real injury worry here. Central defender Levent Gulen (20/0) will miss the match due suspension, while few players are doubtful, but all with chance to recover in time – all less important.
Aarau have failed to win 19 of their last 20 matches in Super League.
Completely open game is expected here as the players of Aarau really have nothing to wait for now and should attack from the first moment. Neither Grasshoppers is without any motive and should respond accordingly. Over should be reached here quite easy, maybe even after the first halftime.
Bet: Over 2.5 goals @ 1.73
