Basel vs Sion Prediction: Both teams are playing below par

In this round of 20 matches for the Swiss Super League, Basel will play host to Sion at St. Jakob-Park. Last weekend, Basel suffered another league setback when they lost to Grasshoppers by a score of 1-0, while Sion could only find themselves trailing Zurich by a score of 0-1 throughout the game.

After suffering a Super League loss against Grasshopper Club Zürich by the score of 1-0 in their most recent match, FC Basel 1893 will be trying to improve their performance here in the hopes of achieving a better outcome. During that match, FC Basel 1893 had a possession rate of 55% and 17 shots on goal, with 6 of them landing on target. The Grasshoppers, who were their competitors, had 9 shots on goal, with only 3 of them hitting the target. The goal for Grasshopper Club Zürich came in the 94th minute from Hayao Kawabe. The facts show that FC Basel 1893 has allowed opponents to score in 5 of their most recent 6 matches, totaling 9 conceded goals in that span of time. However, there is no guarantee that such a pattern will continue into the next game that we play. When looking at their previous results, it is clear that FC Basel 1893 have not been successful against FC Sion in any of their most recent four league encounters. Additionally, in their most recent two league matches at home, they have not been victorious.

FC Sion will be looking to redeem themselves after suffering a loss in their most recent Super League matchup, which was played against FC Zürich. During that game, FC Sion had 53% possession of the ball and 13 shots on goal, with only 4 of those shots hitting the target. On the other hand, Zürich had 12 shots on goal, but only four of them were on target. Jonathan Okita scored for FC Zürich in the 59th minute. In the previous six matches that FC Sion has competed in, there have been a total of 22 goals scored, which works out to an average of 3.67 goals scored per contest. The form guide indicates that FC Sion have not been defeated by FC Basel 1893 in any of their road games against them in the previous two matches in the league. Additionally, they have not been defeated in any of their most recent three away league matches.

We are anticipating a duel that will include goals scored by both teams. Both teams are now performing really well despite not being in particularly strong shape. Having said that, if one looks at FC Basel's history against Sion, it appears that the team performs better when they are playing at home. As a result, we anticipate that the home team will pull off a respectable 2-1 victory.
