It's game two of the Super League season and everything to play for. Read our full preview of Sion-Young Boys!

There should be plenty of energy on the pitch in this game, as both sides have had time to recuperate from their last game. Let's hope both teams are ready to give it all.

Sion's stadium, Stade de Tourbillon, has a grass surface. Young Boys have artifical turf on their own stadium.

They have scored 66 goals in these games and conceded 54.

Young Boys form and stats

Felix Mambimbi and Christian Fassnacht scored in Young's previous match, the home game against Zurich that ended 2-1. It was a Champions League defeat before that one as the away game against Midtjylland wasn't a success with a 0-3 loss.

A heroic performance from Young Boys in their game against Zurich last time out. Things got complicated when Cedric Zesiger was sent off in the 70th minute with the match level. Despite the red card the team were able to pull off a 2-1 victory!

A quick return to home after this game, as Young are hosting Tirana in the Europa League only four days away.

Let's have a look at how Young Boys performed last season in the Super League: They landed a 1st position in the league table after playing out 23 victories, 7 draws and 6 defeats. In total they scored 80 and conceded 41 goals in these matches. The numbers for away games only are: Won 7 - drew 5 and lost 6 with 29/26 goals scored/conceded.

Head 2 Head

Head-2-head stats last ten meetings: zero - zero - ten (Sion wins - draws - Young Boys wins). As for goals, six matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), four had two or less.
