Basel and Sion will battle for three points in a Swiss Super League matchday 20 clash on Sunday (January 26th). The game will be played at St. Jakob-Park.
The home side are coming into the game on the back of a 2-2 draw away to Lugano last week. They took the lead through Kevin's 24th-minute strike while Anto Grgic equalized from the spot in first-half injury time. Albian Hajdari put Lugano ahead eight minutes into the second half while Xherdan Shaqiri equalized with an 87th-minute penalty.
Sion, meanwhile, fell to a 1-0 defeat at home to Grasshoppers. Their visitors were reduced to 10 men following Saulo Decarli's fourth-minute dismissal but the 10 men held on, with Tomas Veron stepping off the bench to score a 64th-minute winner.
