FC Zurich welcome Sion to Letzigrund Stadion for a Swiss Super League matchday eight clash on Sunday. The home side will be aiming to bounce back from the 4-1 thrashing they received away to St. Gallen last week.
They went behind to Christian Witzig's 27th-minute strike but Antoni Marchesano drew the game level two minutes later. Lukas Gortler, Kevin Csoboth and Felix Mambimbi scored second-half goals to help their side claim all three points.
Sion, meanwhile, could not be separated in a goalless draw at home to Lugano last weekend.
The stalemate left them in sixth spot in the table, having garnered 11 points from seven games. Zurich lead the way at the summit with 14 points to show for their efforts in seven games.

FC Zurich vs Sion Prediction
FC Zurich are the early pacesetters in the league as they sit joint-top of the standings in a three-way tie on 14 points. Just one point separates first from fifth and the top of the table could look different at the conclusion of this matchday.
Sion returned to the top flight at the first time of asking after winning the Swiss Challenge League last season. They started off the season by claiming a morale-boosting away win over Young Boys which paved the way for them winning three of their first four league games. However, they are winless in three since then (two draws).
We are backing the home side to claim a narrow victory in addition to a clean sheet.
