On Friday night, Sion host Basel at the Stade de Tourbillon, in a vital Super League clash for the home team, as they attempt to escape the relegation zone in the Swiss top-flight.
Sion will kick this game off bottom of the ten-team Super League, a point adrift of Vaduz who currently occupy the relegation play-off spot in the Swiss top-flight. A point would be enough if their rivals lose their game, as Sion have superior goal difference.
The home sides form has been mixed of late. However, a 3-1 defeat at Lugano last time out means that they have won just one of their last five matches in the Swiss Super League.
The game also saw their poor defensive record continue, as FC Sion have now kept a clean sheet in just one of their previous 13 league outings.
One of the main reasons for Sion’s position at the bottom of the Super League table is their recent home form, as they have failed to win in eight league matches on home soil.
Basel will go one better than last season and finished as runners to Young Boys in the Swiss Super League.
The visitors have finished their campaign in a relatively strong fashion, as they have won their last two league matches against Lugano and Zurich, without conceding a goal, while scoring at least twice in both outings.
The victories also mean that they have won five of their last eight matches in the Super League, losing just once in the process.
Basel’s recent away form in the Super League has been poor, as they have won just one of their last nine league matches on their travels.
Forebet predicts that Basel will record a victory in a high-scoring encounter to end the season on a high and relegate Sion to the second tier of Swiss football.
