Sion vs Young Boys Prediction: Sion have a shot at deciding their fate

The matchup between Young Boys, the league's current leader, and Sion, currently in last place, at Stade Tourbillon, should not be missed. Clearly, this is not an important contest for Young Boys. Will Sion keep their cool and keep fighting to stay in the first division?

After suffering a 5-0 loss to Servette in their most recent Super League match, Sion will be seeking to improve on their previous performance here. During that game, Sion had a possession rate of 55% and 9 shots on goal, with only 2 of those shots finding the back of the net. On the other end of the field, Servette had 15 shots on goal, with seven of them finding their mark. The goals for Servette came from Patrick Pflucke in the 5th minute, Dereck Kutesa in the 8th minute, Gael Clichy in the 9th minute, Miroslav Stevanovi in the 70th minute, and Enzo Crivelli in the 85th minute. In their most recent games, Sion have not demonstrated much defensive resolve nearly as often as they should have. The fact that Sion's defense conceded goals in each of their previous six matches, resulting in a total of 13 goals conceded over that span, will be a cause for concern for them. The facts before the game show that Sion have failed to emerge victorious against Young Boys in any of their previous six league outings. Meanwhile, the home team are winless in their last ten matches played at home in league play.

In their most recent meeting, which took place in the Super League, Young Boys and FC Zurich played to a 1-1 draw. During that match, Young Boys had 68% of the ball and 14 shots on goal, with four of those shots finding the back of the net. Lewin Blum was the only player for Young Boys to score at the 21-minute mark. Zurich fired four shots, three of which were on target. Bledian Krasniqi scored a goal for Zurich in the 29th minute. Taking a look at their recent form, Young Boys have allowed opponents to score in five of their previous six matches, for a total of eight goals scored by rival teams. In that span, Young Boys were able to score a total of 15 goals.

Sion and Young Boys have met 69 times in previous seasons, with Sion winning 11 games and Young Boys winning 48 games. A total of ten of the games were decided by a draw. While Sion scored 70 goals in the head to head matchups against Young Boys, the latter team managed to score 133 goals.

To tell you the truth, I wouldn't even consider playing Sion in this matchup at all. However, because Young Boys have already secured so many points, it is possible that they will field a lot of players from their second team in this match. Despite this, I believe Sion should be able to score a goal at home despite the great defensive play of Young Boys. In the meantime, given that Young Boys will be competing away from home, I anticipate that Sion will have a significant advantage in this encounter.
