Basel have journeyed here for an intriguing battle versus the home team Sion. Get ready for the fixture with this full Super League preview!
- Sion have yet to win a game at home.
- Basel have the fewest matches over the total-line (1) in Super League
Both teams should be fairly well rested for this game, as they have had some quiet days to prepare. Hopefully this will translate into lots of action on the pitch.
Sion form and stats
Three Super League home games done for Sion, who are not happy collecting 2 points from these matches.
Sion are hoping to put things right at home after a defeat in their previous match, the score 0-2 away versus Luzern. The first setback in the shape of a loss after going unbeaten through three league fixtures. Lindner had a busy but productive day in the Luzern match. Despite making seven saves the loss could not be prevented. Midfielder Grgić was the best player on the team with a rating of 7.91 (out of ten) in that game. Grgić hit four key passes and had 65 successful passes (of 70 total).
Before that game, a nice away win at Chenois (after extra-time). A Swiss Cup match. This is expected to be a close game, with Sion perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Sion as a small favourite), we find 6 games. Sion has won 3 of these, drawn 3 and lost 0.
Sion have scored 2 league goals here from 3 matches, not a lot. With more than 1,5 conceded goals on average, the Sion defense is not exactly impregnable. 5 goals conceded from 3 games. You can find more goal stats on the Statistics tab above.
Basel form and stats
Basel are still undefeated on their travels in the Super League. They have only played two games though, winning one and drawing the other.
Two travels in a row for Basel, whose manager Perez could celebrate last time after the win against Zürich. That win felt good as this side had gone five league matches without winning. As you can tell from the result, the match against Zürich was as crazy as a clown in a village circus. Great fun for the neutral supporter with 6 goals, will the fun continue today? Midfield player Xhaka was the top player of the team with a match rating of 8.31/10. Xhaka signed up for two assists and hit three key passes.
A home victory as anticipated against CSKA Sofia ahead of that, in the Europa Conference League. So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Basel playing away and similar expectations, we found 8 relevant matches. Results were 3 Basel wins, 1 draw and 4 defeats.
5 goals so far away for Basel, while their defence has allowed the opposition to score 3. All from 2 league matches away.
Head 2 Head
Basel have pulled off a streak of 4 consecutive matches without defeat (2-2-0) when facing Sion.Top Goalscorers
