With their 15 point advantage in the league table, Zürich fans are hoping to see their team collect maximum points from this game against Sion.
It's no vacation for neither Zürich nor Sion as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.
Zürich form and stats
When playing at home in the Super League, Zürich, who have the most conceded goals (28) at home in Super League, have managed 7 wins, 2 draws and suffered 5 defeats from 14 games. Two home wins in a row for Zürich bring valid hopes of a third.
Zürich shared the glory with Neuchatel Xamax in their last match, an away game that ended all square 1-1. Previous to that game, a home match hosting Servette in a game that was won 2-0.
The betting market estimate that the home team has about 55-60% chance of winning this match. There could be betting value if you think differently, so to help you here are the stats from Zürich's earlier matches at home being 55%-60% favourite: Played four games, won two matches, drawn one and lost one.
There will be little rest for Zürich after this match as they are travelling to Basel for a Super League game in only three days.
A decent goal production from Zürich in their home games so far, with 22 goals from 14 league matches. Zürich have conceded 28 goals in these home games, a significant number.
Sion form and stats
Sion have only collected 11 points from their away games in the Super League, after 3-2-9 (14 played). Travelling has not been lucrative for the away team as they have returned home without a win in ten away games in a row.
Impressive finishing from Pajtim Kasami secured the home win 1-0 against Basel in their previous game. A 1-2 defeat away at St. Gallen before that.
Looking at the earlier recent performances of Sion when being an outsider away as they are today, we find three matches with the visitors losing two times, drawing zero and winning one game.
There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the Sion manager P. Tramezzani as the team has another away game coming up in only four days, this time against Neuchatel Xamax.
Many goals are not expected from the visiting Sion as they have only managed to score 12 times from 14 away games in the league. Sion struggle to build an impenetrable defensive wall in away matches with a total of 25 goals conceded from these games.
Head 2 Head
Zürich and Sion have met before this season: Sion - Zürich 1-1. Numbers for the last ten meetings between these two teams are: three wins for Zürich, four draws and three wins for Sion. Over 2,5 goals: five times; under 2,5 goals: five games.Top Goalscorers
