Zurich vs Sion PREDICTION & TIPS
Zurich
The fact that FC Zürich would not be a “normal” climber in the Super League was clear already before the season. For the descent of the FC two years ago was no less than a footballing earthquake. In league two, they became the most confident newcomer to the Swiss league history, lost a total of only three seasons, in front of their own audience only one. This success was impressively continued one floor higher at the start of the season. In addition to the top scorer Bern, FC Zürich is the only team that is currently without defeat. After two victories in the opening match against Grasshoppers (2-0) and FC Thun (2-1), FC Lugano made a scoreless draw on the last day of the match. However, the schedule means good with the Liganeuling, because the very big chunks like Basel or Bern were not yet under the opponents. Nevertheless: From such a start can be absolutely self-confidence. Above all, the defensive in the still young season with enormous stability. In this respect, the Young Boys were even stronger than Zurich. Looking at the already mentioned last season’s home game, the chances of another full success on Thursday are great. Especially as the promoter is still supported by a wave of euphoria and supported by loud music. Sion was not a very welcome guest in the Letzigrund Stadium in Zurich. Of the last four duels, FC Zurich lost only one, but at home one could only win one of the last four matches, so one felt more comfortable in Sion. Positive: Raphael Dwamena has a very dangerous goalkeeper in the squad who has already been successful twice. Coach Uli Forte has a lot of other personalities to deal with: no fewer than seven squad players are currently injured or at least beaten, including key players such as Schönbächler or Koné.
FC Sion
FC Sion can also be absolutely satisfied with their previous appearances in the Super League season 2017/2018. At the moment, Paolo Tramezzani’s team is on the 4th place. Like Zurich, however, you had to lose the first point loss on the previous day. They lost a 2-2 defeat against FC St. Gallen, so the fact that you have to go abroad again on Thursday is not a very good omen. How great the problems are in the foreign country, was also shown in the Qualification for the international competition. Against an opponent from Marijampole, who was clearly out of the market, he put a 3-0 defeat in the away game, which did not leave him at home (1: 1). Although in the still young season have already booked an away win, but this is indicative, however, in the 1-0 against the currently still punktelose taillight from Thun. The game in Zurich is already the fourth league away game in series, on his home debut, the FC Sion in this season equally equally vain and longing. Defensively, with the exception of the game against St. Gallen, they were absolutely saddle-proof, winning twice with 1: 0. Already in the season 2016/2017 were away however the nemesis of the FC Sion, of 18 matches abroad was almost half lost, as well as whole 11 conceding more than in the own stadium. With Dimarco, Kümart and Mweng, three hopefuls are injured for the defensive and midfield man Carlitos is also injured. Positive: Sion has an absolutely powerful duo in the lead. Both Schneuwly, as well as Konaté, have already scored a goal this season. Nevertheless, it is still noticeable that no fewer than six new players have been committed or raised in the attack division; the automatisms are still not as desired in many cases.
Two teams, where you can find parallels over the last few weeks. All in all, however, we see slight advantages for the homeowners from Zurich, which result not least from the outward weakness of the opponent.
