Sion form and stats

Sion have secured 6 points from their first three home games in the Super League. A decent catch, still with room for improvement. Two home wins in a row for Sion bring valid hopes of a third.

The fans are hoping that Sion will strike back in this match, putting things right after the 0-4 away loss in the Swiss Cup game against Stade Lausanne-Ouchy. As you see from the result above, Sion suffered greatly in their last game. Thankfully the team has a new chance to prove themselves in this one.

Before that, Sion played out a Super League draw 1-1 when visiting Lausanne Sport.

The bookmakers consider this a fairly even contest. One could say only the home advantage separates the teams. It could be relevant to look at how Sion have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites). Our database has found eight matches with the results: Won four, drawn three and lost one.

There will be little rest for Sion after this match as they are travelling to Grasshopper for a Super League game in only three days.

A decent goal production from Sion in their home games so far, with 5 goals from 3 league matches. Sion's goalkeeper has had to pick the ball out of their own net 4 times. For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above.

Luzern form and stats

Still no away game victory in the Super League for Luzern with 1 draw and 1 loss from their first 2 attempts.

It's the second away game in a row for Luzern, but there's smiles all around after the 2-1 victory versus Buochs (after extra-time) in the Swiss Cup last time out.

Preceding that match was the 1-1 draw at home vs Grasshopper.

So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Luzern playing away and similar expectations, we found six relevant matches. Results were two Luzern wins, zero draws and four defeats.

A quick return to home after this game, as Luzern are hosting Lugano in the Super League only three days away.

3 goals so far away for Luzern, while their defence has allowed the opposition to score 6. All from 2 league matches away.

Head 2 Head
