The visiting Basel side should be favourites in this visit to Sion, as the away team holds a 25 point advantage from their 28 league games this season.
It's no vacation for neither Sion nor Basel as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.
Sion form and stats
With 3 Super League wins, 4 draws and 7 defeats from their home games, Sion are certainly not brimming with confidence. All in all it has been a very rough period for Sion who hasn’t won a league-game in their last twelve attempts. Their previous win was against Thun, 221 days ago.
In their previous game, the manager P. Tramezzani led his Sion to a defeat in the Super League match away at St. Gallen. The manager is hoping to put things right immediately here at Stade de Tourbillon. Preceding that match was the home game against Luzern that was lost 0-2.
There will be little rest for Sion after this match as they are travelling to Zürich for a Super League game in only three days.
Sion has scored 19 league goals at home this season, in 14 matches. With more than 1,5 conceded goals on average, the Sion defense is not exactly impregnable. 25 goals conceded from 14 games. You can find more goal stats on the Statistics tab above.
Basel form and stats
Playing away, Basel, who have the the best goal difference (+27) in Super League, have won 6 games, drawn 2 and suffered 6 defeats in the Super League this season.
Basel go into this game after a win, the home game against Neuchâtel Xamax that ended 2-0. Prior to that match, the Basel manager M. Koller faced defeat when travelling to Lugano and losing 1-2.
A new game in only three days for Basel, the Super League home match versus Young Boys. Busy days.
