Sion vs Basel Prediction: Basel will get a tough win on the road

Sion will host Basel at Stade Tourbillon for a round 30 Swiss Super League encounter. This past weekend, both teams were defeated by their rivals. We do, however, anticipate a demonstration of character and a reaction to their loss. 

After suffering a 2-0 loss against Lugano in their most recent Super League match, Sion will be hoping for luck this time around. During that match, Sion had 30 percent of the possession and eight shots on goal, with only two of them finding the target. On the other hand, Lugano had 12 shots on goal, but only five of them were on target. Milton Valenzuela in the 90 minutes and Mohamed El Amine Amoura in the 90+4 minutes scored for Lugano. In the most recent games, a pristine defensive performance from Sion has been exceedingly uncommon. In fact, Sion's defense has been breached in six of their last six matches, resulting in a total of 12 goals allowed by the opposition. In light of the information available before the game, Sion have not been victorious against Basel in either of their last two league matches. Also, Sion are winless at home in the last eight league matches that they have played.

Basel and their traveling fans will hope for a better result here after suffering a loss in their most recent Super League match against Luzern. During that match, Basel had 53% possession of the ball and 4 shots on goal, but none of them were on target. Luzern, on the other hand, had 10 shots on goal, with 5 of them landing on the target. Dejan Sorgić in the 71st minute and Luuk Breedijk in the 89th minute scored for Luzern. In the run-up to this meeting, Basel have been productive moving forward, as seen by the fact that they have scored eight goals in their previous six outings. However, this does not hide the reality that Basel have had some problems keeping the ball out of their own net recently, as they have conceded goals in each of those meetings.

Both Sion and Basel have played each other a total of 72 times over the course of the previous seasons, with Basel coming out on top 44 times and Sion taking home 9 victories. There were 19 games that were decided by a tie. While Basel managed to score 146 goals, Sion only managed to score 77 goals in their head-to-head matchups.

As a result of their poor defensive play up to this point, there should be goals scored by both teams here. In the meantime, Basel is fighting to avoid being relegated and are slightly the better side. Therefore, the visiting team should get a close win.
