Bolstered by the addition of Inter Milan's academy product Zanotti, they aim to start the new season strong. It is crucial to note that they have a Champions League qualifier against Fenerbahçe three days after this match.
Grasshoppers The "Grasshoppers" narrowly avoided relegation last season, finishing second-last but retaining their place in the top division by winning the play-offs against Thun. Despite some decent performances in friendly matches, they still lost half of their summer matches.
