Sion form and stats

There's been little loot from Sion's travels as they have only collected 10 points from 14 away games in the Super League. Sion only have 2 wins to counter their 8 defeats and 4 draws. It's a growing despair in Sion as they have recorded three consecutive losses.

Home advantage was not enough for Sion in their previous game as they lost hosting St. Gallen, 0-3. Defender Cavaré was the best team player with a rating of 7.12. Cavaré hit four key passes and won 1 of 2 duels.

A 1-2 defeat away at Servette before that.

Looking at the earlier recent performances of Sion when being an outsider away as they are today, we find six matches with the visitors losing one time, drawing one and winning four games.

Sion have a decent goal production going in their away games, although not fantastic. In 14 league away games 18 goals have been scored. For Sion, more than two goals on average per game end up in their own net.

Head 2 Head

The most up to date recorded scoreline featuring both these sides is the Sion - Lugano 0-3 played earlier this season. The match official brandished his red card when these clubs last faced each other, and the culprit was Baltazar (Sion). H2H stats regardless of arena (last ten matches): Lugano five wins, four draws and Sion one victory. As for goals, six matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), four games had two or less.
