Happy days for Neuchâtel Xamax in their previous game, a Swiss Cup match away at Bellinzona that ended with a 2-1 victory. Preceding that game was the away draw at Servette that finished 2-2.

Sion form and stats

The seven points Sion have gathered from their first three away trips in the Super League is impressive and could lead to great things if the form continues. Impressively, the visitors are on a six-match winning run which they hope continue versus Neuchâtel Xamax. A great winning streak in away games for Sion as they have managed to win four matches in a row as the visitors. Not since the Servette have they travelled home without three points.

It's the second away game in a row for Sion, but there's smiles all around after the 2-1 victory versus Aarau in the Swiss Cup last time out. Prior to that result Sion won their away game at Thun in the Super League. The scoreline was 1-0.

After this away game Sion return home for a Super League game against St. Gallen. That game is only four sleeps after this.

Many goals are not expected from the visiting Sion as they have only managed to score 2 times from 3 away games in the league. The Sion defense is a tough nut to crack, having conceded less than half a goal per away game on average (0 goals in 3 games).

Head 2 Head

H2H stats regardless of arena (last ten matches): Neuchâtel Xamax 2 wins, 2 draws and Sion 6 victories. As for goals, 4 matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), 6 games had two or less.
