Basel and Sion battle for three points in a Swiss Super League round 26 clash on Saturday at St. Jakob-Park.
The hosts are coming off a 3-1 win at Etoile-Carouge in the Swiss Cup quarter-final. An action-packed second half saw Xherdan Shaqiri miss a penalty for Basel, and Etoile went ahead in the 55th minute through Oscar Ferreira. A late fightback, though, saw Gabriel Sigua equalise for Basel with six minutes left while Kevin bagged a brace to book a semi-final date with Lausanne.
The Rotblau now shift their focus back to the league, where their last game saw them share the spoils in a 2-2 draw at St. Gallen.

Sion, meanwhile, fell to a 2-1 defeat at Luzern last weekend. They were behind at half-time to Adrian Grbic's sixth-minute strike, while Kreshnik Hajrizi's own goal doubled Luzern's lead. Severin Ottiger netted a 65th-minute own goal.
The loss left Didier Tholot's side in ninth spot in the standings, with 30 points from 25 games, while Basel lead the way at the summit with 42 points.
