Thun form and stats

Thun's results here at Stockhorn Arena in the Super League have been very modest with 1 victory, 2 draws and 7 defeats.

A nice win for Thun last time playing, versus Sion. That was also a home game and the match ended 2-1 with Miguel Castroman and Matteo Tosetti scoring for the victors. Heartbreak before that as Thun lost 1-2 at Servette's place.

This is expected to be a close game, with Thun perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Thun as a small favourite), we find eight games. Thun has won 2 of these, drawn 2 and lost 4.

Thun aren't scoring a lot here at Stockhorn Arena in the league, with only 8 goals from 10 games. Thun are struggling defensively, conceding on average more than two goals per home game (22 from 10 played).

Sion form and stats

The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Sion, who have the most conceded goals (20) away in Super League, so far with only 10 points returning home. The records show 3-1-6 (win-draw-lose). It's all red in the travel logs of Sion, having lost six matches in a row as the visiting team.

Sion play their second straight away game, having lost the previous one 1-2 to Thun (placed 10th). A 1-1 draw was the result before that, hosting Neuchatel Xamax.

So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Sion playing away and similar expectations, we found six relevant matches. Results were 4 Sion wins, 0 draws and 2 defeats.

Sion find the net in their away games, although not all the time. 11 goals from 10 away fixtures in the league. For Sion, more than two goals on average per game end up in their own net.
