How it turned out
We projected about 3.0 goals; the game finished with 7. Both teams scored. We made Grasshoppers to score 70%, and it landed.
What we said beforehand
Grasshoppers host Sion at home in a Swiss Super League clash on 15 September 2026. Sion sit third in the twelve-team table with fifteen points from seven games and a +6 goal difference. They are just one point behind Young Boys and two ahead of Basel, so a win would keep them in the chase for the top spots. Grasshoppers are lower down the table and will be hoping to close the gap to the leaders, but the main story is the gap in form – Sion have been the stronger side in recent weeks.
Grasshoppers have played eight games in their latest run, three wins, two draws and three defeats. The most recent result was a 2-2 draw with Zurich at home, followed by a 2-0 victory over St Gallen at the same venue. Before that they suffered a 5-2 loss to Vaduz away, a 2-1 defeat to Servette away, a 4-1 loss to Lugano at home and a 1-1 draw with Lausanne away. In those eight matches they have scored fifteen goals and let in seventeen, keeping only one clean sheet. Four of their last four home games have produced two wins, one draw and one loss, showing they can pick up points at their own ground.
Sion come into the game on a three-match winning streak. In their last eight fixtures they have five wins, one draw and two losses. Their latest win was a 3-0 away triumph over St Gallen, before that a 3-2 home win over Thun, a 2-1 victory at Basel, a 2-1 loss to Lugano at home, a 3-2 home win over Vaduz and a 3-0 home win over Luzern. Across those games Sion have scored twenty goals and conceded fourteen, keeping two clean sheets. Six of those matches featured three or more goals and both sides scored in six of them. They played just three days ago, so they will be on a short turnaround.
In the five most recent meetings between the clubs, Sion have won four times and drawn once, with Grasshoppers never coming out on top. Those games have averaged 2.2 goals. The last encounter was a 0-4 win for Sion on 6 April 2026, a result that underlines Sion’s attacking edge when the two meet.
Our pick is Grasshoppers to score. We expect Grasshoppers to find the net about 70 % of the time, and the price of 1.31 looks short compared with our reading. The odds are attractive if the visitors keep scoring as they have been. For the bet to fail, Grasshoppers would have to be shut out, which would require Sion to dominate completely and keep a clean sheet – a scenario that is less likely given the high scoring trend in both teams’ recent games.
