Struggling Sion will be hoping to pull off an upset when they welcome high-flying Basel in the upcoming league round. It’s 10th vs 2nd and the home crowd will have moderate expectations.
- Sion have the most conceded goals (58) in Super League
- Basel have the fewest points from losing position (5) 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.
Relegation threatens Sion who should definitely be looking for some points here. Basel are still fighting for top positions and their benefits.
Sion form and stats
With 3 Super League wins, 8 draws and 6 defeats from their home games, Sion, who have the most conceded goals (58) in Super League, are certainly not brimming with confidence. With eight home Super League games in a row without a win, the Sion fans could feel they are not getting value for their money. It remains to be seen whether this unfortunate streak, which started after the St. Gallen game long ago, can be stopped today.
Sion are hoping to put things right at home after a defeat in their previous match, the score 1-3 away versus Lugano. Midfield player Matteo Tosetti got a match rating of 7.44 in that game, the max score being 10. Tosetti scored one goal and hit three key passes.
Before that, Sion drew at home versus Luzern.Sion has scored 19 league goals at home this season, in 17 matches. Sion have conceded 26 from these games.
Basel form and stats
Playing away, Basel have won 6 games, drawn 2 and suffered 9 defeats in the Super League this season.
198 minutes! That's how long the Basel goalkeeper Heinz Lindner and his defense have shut out their league opponents.
Basel won their last game, 4-0 versus Zürich played at home. Defender Raoul Petretta was the best team player with a rating of 9.41. Petretta scored two goals, hit one key pass and won 5 of 6 duels. As you can tell from the results above, Basel was very dominant against Zürich, winning the match with a scoreline that even the finest fortune teller couldn't predict. 4-0 (!) with Pajtim Kasami, Raoul Petretta (2) and Edon Zhegrova providing the goals.
That result followed a home victory 2-0 versus Lugano.Basel are scoring more than one goal per away game on average, having accumulated 25 away goals from 17 games (in the league). In the opposite end, Basel have conceded 28 goals in their away games.
