Grasshopper Zurich vs West Ham United Prediction and Betting Tips | July 19th 2025

Grasshopper Zurich will welcome West Ham United to the GC Campus AG in a friendly on Saturday. The Hammers will kick off their preseason with this match and will travel to the USA for the Premier League Summer Series later this month.

Zurich have played three friendlies thus far and have enjoyed an unbeaten run in these games. After a 1-1 draw against Vaduz in their first friendly of the preseason, they have won their last two games. They met Rapperswil in their previous outing earlier this week and registered a 2-1 win. Luke Plange and Jonathan Asp Jensen were on the scoresheet in that win.

The visitors will be in action for the first time since a 3-1 win over Ipswich Town in the Premier League in May. They had registered just one win in their 2024 preseason and will look to improve upon that record.
