The Super League league standings tell a story about these sides so far, with Sion leading Zürich by 13 points. Match preview to follow:
- Sion have played more matches over 2,5 goals home than away.
- Zürich have the fewest scored goals (8) in Super League
It’s a hectic schedule for the away team, as they were in action only three days ago in the Europa League.
Sion form and stats
The story so far in the Super League for Sion at their home stadium (Stade de Tourbillon) is 2 wins, 2 draws and 2 defeats.
The Sion coach Tramezzani and his crew return home after a 1-1 draw away versus Young Boys (placed 1st). The forward Balotelli was named "man of the match" for Sion with a rating of 7.82/10. Balotelli scored one goal, hit one key pass and dribled past the opponent 6 of 7 times.
A defeat was the result before that one, 0-1 away at Winterthur.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 6 matches with the results: Won 3, drawn 3 and lost 0.
Sion are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 7 goals in 6 games. With more than 1,5 conceded goals on average, the Sion defense is not exactly impregnable. 9 goals conceded from 6 games. You can find more goal stats on the Statistics tab above.
Zürich form and stats
The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Zürich so far with only 3 points returning home. The records show 0-3-3 (win-draw-lose). Zürich are desperate to end a 13-game winless run.
The regulars enjoyed Zürich's previous match versus Bodø / Glimt, a Europa League win (2-1) played at home. That defeat was their first after four consecutive league games winning points. Midfielder Boranijašević was the best performer of that match, with a rating of 7.55. Boranijašević scored one goal, hit four key passes and had 28 successful passes (of 33 total).
A 1-4 loss hosting Grasshopper before that.So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Zürich playing away and similar expectations, we found 5 relevant matches. Results were 2 Zürich wins, 1 draw and 2 defeats.
Zürich have another match that requires travelling in just four days, a Europa League match against Arsenal. A difficult itinerary for them!
Many goals are not expected from the visiting Zürich as they have only managed to score 4 times from 6 away games in the league. Zürich struggle to build an impenetrable defensive wall in away matches with a total of 11 goals conceded from these games. Zürich has visited these top teams two times, and 2 of 2 has ended with 2 goals or more!
