Sion form and stats

Sion's struggle is real here at Stade de Tourbillon with only 10 points collected from 14 Super League games. The win-draw-lost numbers are ugly: 2-4-8. 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.

Sion are hoping to put things right at home after a defeat in their previous match, the score 0-2 away versus Lugano. The first setback in the shape of a defeat after going unbeaten through three league matches. Bua (midfield) was the top team player in that game with a rating of 7.24/10. Bua hit two key passes and dribled past the opponent 1 of 1 times.

Before that match, a win away at Grasshopper.

The manager Bettoni will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Zürich in only three days.

The Sion fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 15 in 14 matches. Goals are flowing in at the wrong end for Sion with 30 goals conceded in these matches. Sion has at home met teams with this table position (low), three times. It has ended with less than 2.5 goals 2 of 3 times.

Basel form and stats

There's been little loot from Basel's travels as they have only collected 14 points from 14 away games in the Super League. Basel only have 3 wins to counter their 6 defeats and 5 draws.

Basel might have something to prove in this game as they lost at home in their previous match. Luzern proved too strong as Basel slumped to a 0-2 defeat in front of their own fans at St. Jakob-Park. That loss was their first after three consecutive league matches winning points. Ramos got a match rating of 7.05 in that game, top player of the team. Ramos dribled past the opponent 2 of 2 times.

Earlier, the Europa Conference League victory away at Nice (after extra-time).

Basel have another game that requires travelling in just three sleeps, a Super League match vs Winterthur. A difficult programme for the guests!

Basel have conceded 18 goals in these away matches.

Head 2 Head
