Yverdon will welcome FC Zurich to Stade Municipal for a Swiss Super League round 27 clash on Saturday.

Yverdon vs FC Zurich Prediction
Yverdon have had a relatively impressive campaign on their return to the top flight. However, they lost their last three games on the bounce and confidence could be low in Alessandro Mangiarratti's camp. They claimed a rare head-to-head victory last month but their current form does not suggest that they can build on this.
FC Zurich are fresh off a morale-boosting victory over defending champions Young Boys. They proved their defensive solidity to shut out the current league leaders and will be keen to avenge their loss in this fixture last time out.
Yverdon's games tend to be high-scoring, in contrast to Zurich's compact style. We are backing the visitors to claim a narrow win with goals at both ends.
