Winterthur vs Zurich Prediction and Betting Tips
Winterthur host Zurich at the Stadion Schutzenwiese on Thursday (May 25) in the penultimate round of the Swiss Super League.
The hosts have endured a largely difficult campaign but remain hopeful of retaining their top-flight status for another season. Winterthur lost 1-0 to Servette in their last league outing and could have no complaints after failing to register a shot on target.
Winterthur are ninth in the league table with 32 points from 34 games. They are just one point above last-placed Sion and will be desperate to widen that gap as they continue their fight for survival.
Zurich, meanwhile, have had an overall underwhelming season, as the defending champions find themselves in the bottom half of the standings. They picked up a 2-1 comeback win over Grasshopper Club Zurich in their last game, Lindrit Kamberi and former Switzerland international Blerim Dzemaili got on the scoresheet to overturn an early deficit.
