FC Sion vs Young Boys Prediction and Betting Tips | May 21st 2023

Two sides at opposite ends of the Swiss Super League face off on Sunday when FC Sion welcome Young Boys to the Stade Tourbillon.

While the visitors have already been crowned champions, Paolo Tramezzani’s men are currently rooted at the bottom of the league table.

FC Sion suffered another blow in their race against the drop as they were thrashed 5-0 by Servette FC last Saturday.

Tramezzani’s side have now lost four of their last five outings, with a 2-2 draw against FC Zurich on April 30 being the exception.

With 31 points from 33 matches, Sion are currently rock-bottom in the Super League table, one point below ninth-placed Winterthur just outside the relegation playoff spot.

Elsewhere, Young Boys were denied a third win on the trot as they were held to a 1-1 draw by FC Zurich last time out.

Prior to that, Raphael Wicky’s men picked up a 5-1 victory over Luzern on April 30 to clinch the league title, one week before seeing off St. Gallen at Kybunpark.

While Young Boys hold a 17-point lead at the top of the table, they have struggled on the road of late, where they have managed just one win in their last seven outings in the league.
