Game week two of the Super League season and the squads have taken their learnings from the first fixture. Here's the best Sion - Young Boys guide:
One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on grass and that the visiting Young Boys have a different surface at their stadium (artifical turf). The impact of this is hard to measure exactly, but the visitors stats on grass is 17-13-13 (win-draw-loss) from 43 matches.
This should be an exciting game with lots of spark and excitement as both sides are well renewed since they last played a game. Get this show on the road!
Sion form and stats
The season before, Sion's league stats were 11 wins, 8 draws and 17 losses, ending with 7th spot in the Super League. From these 36 matches they scored 46 goals and let in 67. Playing as the home side in the former season Sion delivered 6-4-8 (win-draw-lost) with 21 goals and 26 conceded.
It's back home for Sion, who return with a good feeling about themselves after beating Lugano away with the result 3-2. Cavaré and Schmied found the net in that victory. Manager Tramezzani felt very clever after Schmied scored the winning goal against Lugano, having brought on that player as a substitute in the 70th minute. Midfielder Poha was the best player on the team with a rating of 8.2 (out of ten) in that game. Poha served one assist, hit three key passes and had 30 successful passes (of 34 total).
Preceding that game was the home draw versus Servette that ended 3-3.Young Boys form and stats
Let's have a look at how Young Boys performed last season in the Super League: They landed a 3rd position in the league table after playing out 16 victories, 12 draws and 8 defeats. In total they scored 80 and conceded 50 goals in these matches. The numbers for away games only are: Won 5 - drew 7 and lost 6 with 39/29 goals scored/conceded.
Did you know that the longest clean sheet streak is 1816 minutes? This record is held by Mazaropi when he played in Vasco da Gama. Young Boys goalkeeper David von Ballmoos is eager to challenge this, with his 201 minutes of keeping balls out from the net.
Impressive finishing from Itten, Rieder, Fassnacht and Kanga secured the home win 4-0 against Zurich in their previous game. As mentioned above, Young Boys was the only team on the pitch versus Zurich in their previous game, winning 4-0. This could be a tougher task. Kanga, attacking player, was the top performer on the team in that game, scoring a match rating of 8.44. Kanga scored one goal, served one assist, hit three key passes and dribled past the opponent 1 of 1 times.
A home win before that, celebrating 3-0 vs Grasshopper.Head 2 Head
