Sion is playing for survival in the elite of Swiss football. As in the last 2 seasons, the Sedun club is 8th in the standings, a place ahead of the relegated play-off. The club coached by Fabio Grosso shares a lot of points this season (8 draws in 15 matches) and has won only 3 times. However, it is in a good shape. Indeed, Sion has not lost for 5 days. The Sédunois held in check the 2nd in the standings, Lugano (1-1), and brought back the 3 points from Lausanne last weekend (1-0).
Opposite, FC Basel was crowned 8 times in a row between 2010 and 2017, the date of its last Swiss championship title. The residents of Parc Saint-Jacques are currently 4th in the standings, tied on points (23) with 3rd, St. Gallen, and 2nd, Lugano. The Balois pay for their too bad results away this season (3 wins, 4 losses) and must straighten the bar. All the more so after the slap received this weekend at home against Zurich (4-1). Before this poor performance, FC Basel had conceded a draw at home against St. Gallen (0-0) and then won at the penultimate, Luzern (2-1).
