The hosts just defeated Pyunik Yerevan 2-1 in the UEFA Europa Conference League. First-half goals from Darian Males and Anton Kade propelled their team to victory. The win enabled Basel to finish second in their group and go to the playoffs.
In contrast, Sion’s most recent game ended in a 1-0 loss to FC Zurich at home. With a goal in the 18th minute from Jonathan Okita, the reigning champions were able to earn their first victory of the year. Sion dropped to fourth in the rankings as a result of the loss. Their current point total in 14 games is 19.
Basel vs Sion Prediction
Basel had a disappointing season and faces the possibility of missing out on European qualifying for the upcoming campaign. The performance of Alexander Frei’s team in the Conference League may serve as motivation for a successful comeback in the league.
While Sion is one of the clubs who may compete with Basel for European qualifying, the Stade Tourbillon squad has recently struggled. They have gone three games without losing against the 20-time league champions, so they will be confident about their prospects of winning at Basel.
Both sides will probably play aggressively. Even if either side might triumph, the winnings can be split in a high-scoring draw.
Basel will likely defeat Sion 2-2.
