Zurich will play host to St. Gallen at Stadion Letzigrund in the Swiss Super League on Sunday (January 29).
Coach Bo Henriksen, the third hire since the beginning of the campaign, has been unable to get the hosts out of their rut. Zurich remain rooted to the bottom of the table with 13 points, registering two wins, seven draws and eight losses in 17 games. They're winless in their last three outings, drawing all three.
All is not lost for the defending champions. Zee City still have the chance to recover from their grim campaign, but the clock is ticking. They have claimed two wins (at home) in their last five games and will look to do so again.
St. Gallen, meanwhile, are third in the standings with 25 points but trail leaders Young Boys by 13 points. Gallen have won seven games, drawn four and lost six, scoring 34 goals - more than second-placed Lugano (29). With the top spot almost out of their reach, Gallen will likely focus on second place.
Espen come into the clash off a defeat and a draw, winning once in their last five games. They have also been inconsistent on the road, winning twice in their last five outings. They have split their last four meetings with Zurich.
