Sion form and stats

The Super League results playing at home this season for Sion are 3-1-4 (wins-draws-losses). When Sion hosts teams that live in the bottom of the table (like Luzern, St. Gallen and Sion), they have won 1 of 2 matches!

In their previous game, the manager Tramezzani led his Sion to a defeat in the Super League match away at Young Boys. The manager is hoping to put things right immediately here at Stade de Tourbillon. Did Sion get overconfident in their match against Young Boys? We'll let you decide, but they did lose a 2-0 lead to end up with a 3-4 defeat. A goal frenzy last time out for Sion, with a total of 7 goals in the match against Young Boys. Fun stuff to watch! Sion's goalkeeper Fickentscher was extremely busy against Young Boys, saving the team from a uglier defeat with a stunning six saves. The gifted forward Filip Stojilković bested all teammates in that game and managed a match rating of 7.5 out of 10. Stojilković scored one goal, served one assist, hit one key pass and dribled past the opponent 1 of 2 times.

Prior to that, an away loss at Lugano.

Sion has scored 10 league goals at home this season, in 8 matches. Sion have conceded 11 in these home matches.
