This fixture can not go any worse than the previous one, the home defeat versus Grasshopper with 1-2 on the scoreboard. The attacker Itaitinga got a match rating of 7.35 in that game. Itaitinga scored one goal and hit one key pass.

A 0-4 defeat away at Young Boys before that.

We have checked recent matches where Sion have had similar odds to win. Win-draw-lose statistics from those 13 games were 3 victories, 4 draws and 6 defeats.

Sion have a decent goal production going in their away games, although not fantastic. In 12 league away games 17 goals have been scored.
