Sion vs Young Boys Prediction: Visiting Young Boys to ease past Sion

In the quarterfinal stage of the Swiss Cup, Sion and Young Boys are set to clash at Stade Tourbillon. Both teams are currently in good form, eager to secure a spot in the next stage of the competition. Let's delve into a preview of this match and formulate a prediction.

Sion, coming off a victorious performance in their previous game, will be seeking a similar result after a convincing 0-4 Challenge League win against FC Schaffhausen. In this match, the goals for FC Sion were scored by Dejan Sorgić (17'), Joel Schmied (33'), Kevin Bua (45'), and Liam Chipperfield (77'). Demonstrating an impressive attacking form, Sion has scored a total of 18 goals in their last six matches, while their defense has conceded five goals during this period.

Following their recent defeat to Servette FC in Super League action, Young Boys and their traveling supporters are looking for a better result in the upcoming match. In the last game, Young Boys had 60% possession, attempted 14 shots on goal with 4 on target, while Servette registered 15 attempts with 4 on target. Alexis Antunes (42') scored the lone goal for Servette FC. Over their last six matches, Raphaël Wicky's Young Boys have scored a total of 7 goals, resulting in a goals-per-game average of 1.17.

While it's true that Young Boys have faced challenges recently, struggling to secure victories and conceding goals, Sion enters this fixture in a commendable run of form with victories in most of their recent matches, providing them with momentum. However, considering Young Boys' stronger historical performance in this competition, I anticipate them to deliver a solid performance in this match. Therefore, my prediction is in favor of the visiting team, expecting Young Boys to secure a win while both teams also contribute to the scoresheet.
