Sion form and stats

Overall stats at home this season for Sion are 5-4-7 (wins-draw-losses). Regardless of arena the trend is looking very unhealthy for Sion with their four defeats in a row. Not since the Lugano game, 31 days ago, have they avoided a loss. Two defeats in a row at home hurts for Sion, their manager M. Yakin and the supporters. There are certain expectations for improvement.

The fans are hoping that Sion will strike back in this match, putting things right after the 1-2 away loss in the Super League game against St. Gallen. Preceding that match was a defeat to Young Boys (0-4).

The Sion fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium, the tally being 20 in 16 matches. Defensively it’s touch-and-go for the home team as 24 goals have been conceded.
