The Swiss Super League returns with a fresh set of fixtures as FC Sion take on FC Basel at the Stade Tourbillon on Thursday (April 27). The hosts will look for a win, as they sit only a point above the relegation playoff spot.
Sion were sent crashing back to earth in the Super League, as they fell to a 2-0 loss against FC Lugano on Sunday. Before that, David Bettoni’s men were on a three-game unbeaten run, claiming seven points from a possible nine and rising off the bottom of the standings. With 30 points from 29 games, Sion are ninth in the Super League, one point above Winterthur in the relegation playoff spot.
Meanwhile, Basel continue to struggle at St. Jakob-Park, as they fell to a 2-0 home defeat against FC Luzern on Sunday. Bebbi were previously unbeaten in four games, a run that saw them reach the UEFA Europa Conference League semifinals with a 4-3 aggregate win over OGC Nice.
