Sion vs Xamax Prediction & Betting tips
English week in the Swiss Super League. Next weekend is the Cup final between FC Thun and FC Basel on the program. Before that, the third last matchday of the current season will be completed. The sporting situation in the Super League is extremely exciting – and yet the sport moved back into the background last weekend. Some GC idiots forced the second game abort in no time. The descent of the Swiss champion is now fixed; still open is who has to play-offs. There could be a preliminary decision in the direct duel between Sion and Xamax Neuchatel on Wednesday!
Before the duel of the two teams from the French Switzerland, FC Sion is with 37 points in eighth place of the table and thus wafer-thin before the newcomers from Neuchatel (36 points). In the Valais, however, the chaos reigns once again and the momentum in recent weeks certainly speaks for the newcomer. Xamax missed the leap to the eighth place with a home defeat against FC Zurich, but may still dream of a fixed rescue. The tournament starts in the Tourbillon on Wednesday at 19:00 clock.
Sion:
What a surprise – Christian Constantin has struck again and changed the coach in the season finale. Murat Yakin, whom he described some time ago as “the best coach in Switzerland”, was not dismissed, but only released. The release of Yakin was already the 50th change of coach in the era Constantin and had a lot of criticism in Switzerland. Yakin was accused of working too little and not caring for the team. Constantin wanted and wants to expose Yakin medially and hopes for a termination on his part to save a lot of money. In the match against FC Sankt Gallen last weekend, the president personally decided what to do, but due to the lack of a license, Sebastien Bichard and Christian Zermatten are on the bench. More successful than under Yakin, the appearance of the Sioner was by no means. Against the aspens from eastern Switzerland it put a 1: 2 defeat and thus the great descent fear is far from being banned.
The defeat at FC Sankt Gallen was for FC Sion already the sixth league game without full success and at the same time the fourth defeat in series. After all, succeeded for the first time in three league games again a scoring, but the offered performance was too little in the fight for the league. After four defeats in a row between Sion and Xamax Neuchatel a prediction on the home win is not necessarily recommended. Especially since the home side for the direct duel in the fight for relegation even on Birama Ndoye have to give up due to a yellow card suspension. This is more than a handful of players, with actors such as Carlitos, Ermir Lenjani or Raphael Rossi also absolute pillars in the game of FC Sion.
With a home victory Sion would have fixed the league with a high probability. Then the Sionern would have two laps to go four points clear of Xamax Neuchatel. As the momentum is currently speaking for the guests, Constantin tries to cause unrest with the opponent. As a possible Yakin successor “CC” brought the current Xamax coach Stephane Henchoz in the conversation. Henchoz must leave Xamax in the summer, regardless of the season’s end.
Xamax Neuchatel:
Former Liverpool player Stephane Henchoz (now 44 years old) took over the duties of Michel Decastel in Neuchâtel in early February. Previously, he worked for just over three years as an assistant coach. In his first station as a head coach at the professional level, his record can be seen. In 14 games, there were seven wins, two draws and five defeats. Thanks to these 23 points (an average of 1.64 points per game), the fixed descent was averted early. And chances to keep the league without unnecessary Barrage games is still intact with three laps to go. Despite these absolutely positive numbers, it is already clear that Henchoz will no longer be working for Xamax Neuchatel in the coming season. The club management does not seem to trust him to develop the club sustainably. With Joel Magnin (currently coach of the U21 Young Boys) has already presented a new head coach.
Not only Henchoz does not understand why he has to clear his chair, many experts. Nevertheless, he puts everything to success and the rumors regarding a possible interest of FC Sion Henchoz will be able to classify properly. Statements by Christian Constantin should not be given too much attention. The concentration is the last three league games, so that the season is actually ended on May 25th. Last weekend, after four games without defeat (three wins, a draw), it once again went into bankruptcy for the Super League newcomer. At home against FC Zurich, Xamax lost 2-1. A bitter defeat, because for the first time since the fourth (!) Spieltage the climber could have left the relegation places. In the final phase, this chance was playfully reckless after a 1-0 lead.
Nevertheless, the current form of the eleven from the French Switzerland is considerable and with this self-confidence, the league is within reach. In addition to the current form, the staffing situation speaks for the guests, because Stephane Henchoz can draw on the full in Valais.
