WWDDLL ⚖

Following on from tasting defeat last time out to BSC Young Boys in Super League competition, FC Zürich and their travelling supporters will be hoping that they can get a better result in this one.

The stats don’t lie, and FC Zürich have been scored against in 5 of their last 6 matches, letting opponents get 11 goals in total. In defence, FC Zürich seem to have a bit of a soft underbelly. Such a trend won’t necessarily be sustained into this match, though.
