Basel to Win

Basel have opened their campaign in fine form and after a series of European victories and a successful opening Swiss Super League gambit against Grasshopper last week, FCB are targeting their fourth straight win on Sunday. In-form Basel have won eight of their last nine home encounters with Sion and we’re tipping them to enhance that superb record even further this weekend.

Over 1.5 Basel Team Goals

Basel found the net at least twice in each of their first three competitive fixtures of the new season and there is value on offer in backing them to notch over 1.5 times again on Sunday. FCB have plundered a minimum of two goals in eight of their last ten tussles with Sion at St. Jakob-Park and they are playing with enough confidence to do some damage again this week.

Both Teams to Score

While we expect Basel to eventually pocket the points at Sion’s expense on Sunday, recent head-to-head history in this fixture suggests we should expect goals at both ends. Sion have impacted the scoresheet in six of their last meetings with Basel, while goals have been registered at either end in three of the clubs’ last four skirmishes.

Basel vs Sion: Match Preview

Basel

Basel finished as the Super League’s runners-up last season, though they were left in the dust by Young Boys at the summit after the champions opened up a mammoth 29-point gap by the close of business in May. Improvement is the name of the game for manager Patrick Rahmen this term and the decision-makers at the club will expect Basel to close the gap on Young Boys in 2021/22.

Sion

Sion beat the automatic drop on the final day of last season with an emphatic 4-0 win over Sunday’s opponents Basel, and a double-legged playoff triumph over Thun allowed them to fully secure their top-flight status. March appointment Marco Walker masterminded Sion’s great escape, though the coach will be determined to avoid a repeat scenario that requires a last-gasp reprieve next year.
