Comments and predictions for Grasshopper vs West Ham: The hammer strikes a dangerous blow

Grasshopper vs West Ham latest team information

West Ham have made their first signing of the summer by bringing in El Hadji Malick Diouf from Slavia Prague, while veteran defender Aaron Cresswell has left the club after 11 years to join Stoke City.

The biggest blow for the club was the departure of Mohammed Kudus, with fans hoping the £55m raised from the deal will be reinvested in strengthening the squad.

Crysencio Summerville is the only injury case that carries over from last season, but after almost two months of rest, his hamstring problem is almost healed.

On Grasshoppers' side, striker Nikolas Muci - the top scorer last season despite often having to sit on the bench - is still a notable factor, especially when he regularly scores important goals in the final stages of the season.

Jonathan Asp Jensen – a new signing on loan from Bayern Munich – could make his debut. He is expected to make more of an impact than Nestory Irankunda, who also arrived from Bayern last season but failed to make much of an impression.

Latest Grasshopper vs West Ham football review

A challenging season awaits manager Graham Potter and West Ham, after the team endured a disappointing 2024–25 campaign, finishing just 14th – a lacklustre performance in the post-David Moyes era.

Coach Potter needs to take advantage of the pre-season to implement his tactical philosophy, after taking over the team midway through last season but failing to bring about many positive changes.

The game against Grasshoppers will be the only warm-up before West Ham head to the US for the Premier League Summer Series, where they will face Manchester United, Everton and Bournemouth. They will then play a friendly against Lille before the start of the new season.

West Ham kick off their Premier League campaign against Sunderland – a game that is widely seen as a “must win” by fans. The team finished last season with two wins from their last three games and will be hoping to continue that momentum.

Coach Potter and his team's first opponent is Grasshoppers (Zurich), a team that had two previous friendly matches: a draw with Vaduz and a 3-0 win over Sion.

Like West Ham, the Swiss club also needs to improve significantly from last season. They only stayed up on goal difference, before beating Aarau 4-1 on aggregate in the play-offs.

Coach Tomas Oral has left the team, and Gerald Scheiblehner has been appointed as his replacement ahead of the new season – which starts very early in Switzerland. Grasshoppers will face Luzern next weekend in their opening game.

Due to the early start of the domestic season, Grasshoppers will still play friendlies even after the official competition, against Celta Vigo and “giant” Bayern Munich – matches expected to help the club increase its revenue this summer.
