Sion, meanwhile, are one of the teams that could potentially contest against Basel for European qualification, but the Stade Tourbillon outfit have faltered recently. However, they will fancy their chances of getting a result at Basel, having gone three games unbeaten against the 20-time league winners.
Both teams are likely to play on the front foot. Although either team could win, the spoils could be shared in a high-scoring stalemate.
