FC Zurich visit the Stade Olympique de la Pontaise on Saturday to face Stade Lausanne in the Swiss Super League looking to continue their unbeaten start to the 2023-24 season.

With seven points in three games, Bo Henriksen's side are currently at the top of the league table, ahead of reigning champions Young Boys on goal difference.

Zurich began their season with a 2-0 defeat of Yverdon but were held to a 2-2 draw by Servette in their next game. On matchday three, the FCZ overcame Lugano 3-0 in another home win.

On the other hand, Stade Laussane are winless in the new season thus far. With one draw and two defeats, the club is languishing second from bottom in the Swiss Super League table. They sit above bottom side Winterthur only by virtue of goal difference.

Anthony Braizat's side began their campaign with a 3-0 home loss to Lugano, before another 2-1 defeat at the hands of Luzern. In their last match, Stade Laussane were held to a 1-1 draw by Servette.

Having gained promotion from the second division, the Lausanne outfit have found life difficult in the top flight so far.
