The visitors from Spain had solid start of the group stage but 1-2 loss to Osmanlispor in the most recent match put the team on third place of the group with the same five points gained in four matches. The team were on 11-match undefeated run in all competition but such impressive run was followed by three defeats in four recent matches, including two defeats to Eibar and Athletic Bilbao in last two matches.
Spanish side considered as favorites of the upcoming matchup but they are failing to impress in recent matches, while Zurich show impressive form. We can expect the host to battle for points in upcoming match and bookmakers offer nice odds for hosts win with handicap.
Prediction for the match: Zurich to win with +1.0 Asian handicap.
