Sion vs Young Boys Prediction: Young Boys to end their poor run in this fixture

The Swiss Super League encounter between Sion and Young Boys will take place at Stade Tourbillon. Sion won the last meeting of this fixture. Can Young Boys turn the leaf this time?

Sion are coming off a Swiss Cup encounter against Basel, failing to qualify. In a game that ended 3-2, Sion saw their first-half 1-2 lead drawn in the second half, with Anton Kade's strike denying them a win. However, Sion scored only one of their three penalty attempts, with Christian Souza Espana and Joel Schmied losing from the spot. However, Sion have lost two of their last five games, one other against Lausanne. This season, Sion have 20 points from 16 games, the same as their opponent, as they sit 8th spot. 

Young Boys' last encounter was against Schaffhausen, ending 0-1 in the Swiss Cup in the round ⅛. However, Young Boys have won three of their previous five matches, defeating Lugano and St. Gallen. In the meantime, this team lost to Atlanta in the Champions League, ending 1-6. Yet their encounter against Luzern ended 1-1 in the league. Young Boys have accumulated 20 points from a possible 48 this season, leaving them seated in the 9th spot. Young Boys scored 22 goals in those matches but conceded 25 in the same run. 

Sion have been impressive and competitive, and I do not see them struggling in this game at home. While Young Boys have picked up lately in the league, a lot is expected from them in this road game, seeing how they have struggled in past meetings. Sion's overall performances, however, are at the same level as that of Young Boys, and this should be a close game. I expect a close game in this one, with both teams scoring, but Young Boys will take maximum points in what should be a hard-fought victory.
