5 wins, 3 draws and 9 losses. That’s the product of Sion playing as the away team in the Super League this season. Sion has recorded two wins in a row in their away matches and hold legitimate hopes of a third one.

Home advantage was not enough for Sion in their previous game, as they lost their Super League-match, hosting Young Boys, 0-1. Preceding that game was the away victory against Zürich with the score of 2-0.

So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Sion playing away and similar expectations, we found six relevant matches. Results were three Sion wins, one draw and two defeats.
