There’s little time for restitution or working hard at the training pitch these days, with both teams having played their last game less than four days ago.
Basel form and stats
When playing at home in the Super League, Basel, who have the most scored goals (29) in Super League, have managed 4 wins, 3 draws and suffered 2 defeats from 9 games.
A strong away win for Basel against Lausanne Sport the last match, as Eray Cömert and Arthur Cabral (2) were on target. The spoils were shared after 90 minutes before that, a home game that ended 2-2 versus Lugano.
A decent goal production from Basel in their home games so far, with 15 goals from 9 league matches. Defensively it’s touch-and-go for the home team as 15 goals have been conceded.
Sion form and stats
There's been little loot from Sion's travels as they have only collected 6 points from 9 away games in the Super League. Sion, who have the most conceded goals (27) in Super League, only have 1 win to counter their 5 defeats and 3 draws.
Sion had fun at their own home (St. Jakob-Park) last time out, beating St. Gallen 3-2. Anto Grgić (3) scored. Prior to that match, the Sion manager F. Grosso faced defeat when travelling to Young Boys and losing 1-2.
It's hard not to mention Anto Grgić's lethal finishing against St. Gallen. three goals were a big reason for the important victory. Late drama in the previous game, when Anto Grgić scored the winning goal six minutes into stoppage time to defeat St. Gallen.
There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the Sion manager F. Grosso as the team has another away game coming up in only three days, this time against Aarau.
Many goals are not expected from the visiting Sion as they have only managed to score 8 times from 9 away games in the league. Sion's defence is not exactly unbeatable as they have conceded 16 goals from these trips.
