Lausanne, having secured their place in the Super League after the recent expansion from ten to twelve teams, aimed to establish themselves in the top division under the guidance of coach Ludovic Magnin. This goal has been achieved as they have successfully avoided relegation this season, despite a period of struggle towards the end where they picked up only one point from four games in the relegation group. Their substantial lead from the regular season helped them avoid a tighter scrape with relegation. Lausanne has shown considerable defensive strength recently, especially notable in their recent 4-0 derby win against Lausanne-Ouchy. This victory was part of a trend where Lausanne kept clean sheets in six of their last ten league games. Their home performance has been strong throughout the season, with points in 13 of their 18 Super League home matches. On the other hand, Grasshoppers, despite their prestigious history as the Swiss record champions, have faced struggles. Currently positioned to enter the relegation playoff, they have been under the management of Marco Schallibaum since mid-April. The team showed initial promise under his guidance, but recent performances have been less convincing, including a 1-0 loss at home against Basel. Grasshoppers have particularly struggled in away matches, failing to win an away game since early December. They have the second-worst away record in the league, with only two wins and ten points from away games all season. This poor form makes them underdogs in a match against Lausanne.

洛桑在最近从10支球队扩大到12支球队后，已经确保了他们在超级联赛中的地位，他们的目标是在教练卢多维奇·马格宁的指导下建立自己的顶级联赛。这个目标已经实现，因为他们本赛季已经成功保级，尽管他们在保级组的四场比赛中只拿到了一分。他们在常规赛中的巨大领先优势帮助他们避免了更紧的保级。洛桑最近表现出了相当强的防守实力，尤其是在最近4-0战胜洛桑-乌希的德比中。这场胜利是洛桑最近10场联赛中6场不失球的趋势的一部分。整个赛季，他们的主场表现都很强劲，18场中超主场比赛中有13场拿到了积分。另一方面，尽管蚱蜢是瑞士历史上久负盛名的纪录冠军，但它们也面临着困难。从4月中旬开始，他们一直在马尔科·沙利鲍姆(Marco Schallibaum)的管理下，目前处于进入保级季后赛的位置。在他的带领下，球队表现出了最初的希望，但最近的表现不那么令人信服，包括主场0 - 1输给巴塞尔。蚱蜢队在客场比赛中表现尤其糟糕，自12月初以来一场客场比赛都没赢过。他们的客场战绩是联盟第二差的，整个赛季只有2胜10分。这种糟糕的状态使他们在与洛桑的比赛中处于劣势。
