Recovering from summer rust isn’t the only goal for the Hammers. Since his arrival in the middle of last season, Graham Potter has had little opportunity to shape this squad. Following a dismal 14th-place finish, the supporters (and perhaps the boardroom) are hoping that these preseason matches will demonstrate some development and a strong sense of identity for West Ham. A test abroad is in store before the Premier League Summer Series, which is rapidly approaching.
The Grasshoppers, on the other hand, barely made it to the playoffs after a disastrous season in the Super League. Gerald Scheiblehner has taken over as manager, and the team has gotten off to a faster start in terms of match rhythm. They aren’t going to put out a welcoming mat for West Ham after drawing with Vaduz and crushing Sion 3-0. They will be physically stronger, aggressive, and well-drilled, so this will be an appropriate challenge for Potter’s men.
