Sion form and stats

Sion's struggle is real here at Tourbillon with only 7 points collected from 7 Super League games. The win-draw-lost numbers are ugly: 2-1-4. Sion has three losses from their three previous games and the tension is increasing in the dressing room for both the manager S. Henchoz and the players.

The Sion fans got no joy from their last match, a Super League game also here at Tourbillon: A 3-4 defeat against Young Boys (placed 1st). Prior to that, an away loss at Zürich.

A goal frenzy last time out for Sion, with a total of 7 goals in the match against Young Boys. Fun stuff to watch! Incredibly enough, Pajtim Kasami scored 3 goals against Young Boys but the team still lost all the points as their opponents won 3-4.

A decent goal production from Sion in their home games so far, with 12 goals from 7 league matches. Goals are flowing in at the wrong end for Sion with 15 goals conceded in these matches.

Thun form and stats

The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Thun, who have the most conceded goals (32) in Super League, so far with only 7 points returning home. The records show 2-1-4 (win-draw-lose).

The manager M. Schneider was unhappy after their last game, a Super League match played at their home ground Tourbillon. Thun suffered a 0-3 loss to Lugano (placed 7th). Before that one, a nice away victory 3-2 at Neuchâtel Xamax.

Thun are scoring more than one goal per away game on average, having accumulated 8 away goals from 7 games (in the league). The Thun manager M. Schneider has some worries about the defense as 15 goals have been conceded in these travels.

Head 2 Head

This is not the first time this season these parties meet, as the history books show this recent fixture: Thun - Sion 0-1. Head-to-head totals (for the last ten meetings): Sion won 6 games, 1 match ended with a draw and Thun has 3 wins. Over 2,5 goals / under 2,5 goals: 6 / 4
