The stakes are high for Yverdon-Sport when they take on FC Zurich at the Stade Municipal in the Swiss Super League season finale on Thursday. While Paolo Tramezzani’s men find themselves rooted to the bottom of the table, they sit one point behind fourth-placed Winterthur in safety, making this a must-win if they look to preserve their top-flight status.
Yverdon-Sport were left spitting feathers in the relegation dogfight as they were held to a 2-2 draw by Winterthur after giving up their two-goal lead at the Stadion Schützenwiese.
With that result, Tramezzani’s side have failed to taste victory in nine straight games, losing four and claiming five draws since March’s 3-2 win over Servette.
Yverdon currently sit rock-bottom in the relegation-round table with 36 points, one point and two places behind fourth-placed Winterthur, just above the relegation playoff spot.
