Sion vs Basel Prediction & Tips
By sharing the points with Lucerne on the last matchday (0-0), Sion conceded their fourth consecutive draw after those against Basel (1-1), Lucerne (1-1) and Servette (3-3). Still unbeaten in five games, the Valaisans are showing real consistency at home, where they have not lost since October 25, with seven games played, four wins and three draws. Engaged in a close battle with Young Boys, they will need to continue to rack up points to defend their place in the top half of the table and remain in contention for the Championship group.
For their part, Basel are coming off a stunning comeback against FC Zurich. Trailing for much of the game, the Rhine-side team managed to stay in the match before completely turning the tide at the end. Shaqiri’s penalty (90′) reignited the suspense, before Salah (90+6′) secured a precious victory (2-1). It was a liberating win for Stephan Lichtsteiner’s men, coming just days after their elimination from the Swiss Cup and the Europa League.
