Young Boys vs Sion Prediction: Will visiting Sion avoid a defeat?

In this round of the Swiss Super League, match number 24 takes place at Stadion Wankdorf and features Young Boys taking on Sion. The side that is playing at home is a heavy favorite, whereas Sion's performance against Lugano over the weekend resulted in a tie.

The Young Boys will compete in this encounter after coming off of a 1-1 draw in their previous Super League game against Winterthur. Throughout that encounter, Young Boys managed to have 64 percent of the control of the ball and 17 shots on goal, with five of those shots finding the target. Meschak Elia tallied the goal for Young Boys in the 21st minute. Winterthur had a total of seven shots on goal, four of them on target. The goal for Winterthur came in the 62nd minute from Roman Buess. Young Boys have not been the best recently in preventing goals from being scored by their opponents, but they have done enough to capitalize on the goal opportunities they have created for themselves. The results of an analysis of Young Boys' most recent six matches show that they have been scored on in six of those matches while also having their goal compromised in five of those matches. According to their previous results, Young Boys have not been defeated in the league by FC Sion in any of their most recent five matches. In addition, the host club has not been defeated in any of their previous 15 league matches played at home.

The most recent match that FC Sion competed in was a Super League match against Lugano, which ended in a 1-1 draw. Throughout that game, FC Sion had 39% possession and 10 shots on goal, with 3 of them finding the back of the net. Giovanni Sio was the lone player to score for FC Sion, and his goal came in the 66th minute. Lugano, the team they were playing against, had 11 shots on goal, with only three of them hitting the target. Ousmane Doumbia scored the lone goal for Lugano in the 34th minute. According to the statistics, Sion's opponents have scored at least one goal against them in each of their last six matches, for a total of 13 goals scored by rival teams. Because of this, they absolutely need to improve their performance and strengthen their defense. FC Sion come into this encounter without a victory in any of their previous seven league matches played away from their home stadium.

In recent weeks, Young Boys have not been playing at their best, as seen by the fact that they have participated in three league matches but have not been able to pick up a victory, with each of those contests ending in ties. On the other hand, considering this Sion team, it is clear that they are not in excellent form, since they have not won any of their last seven matches. We do not therefore anticipate any kind of threat or impressive play from the team that will be traveling from Sion, but we do predict that Young Boys will prevail here at home. Also, we are of the opinion that it will be very challenging for Sion to prevail against the Young Boys defense. As a result, placing a wager on both teams to score no is another viable choice in this match, although it is anticipated that Young Boys will find the back of the net on both halves.
