Basel vs Sion Prediction & Betting tips
In Switzerland the season is still running and the clubs of the Super League have 2 more games to play. But this week, the Swiss Cup will be played before the end of the league. The Basel and FC Sion teams will meet on Thursday 25 May at 15:00 in Geneva. So you can be curious as to whether the Basler can once again win the double in Switzerland.
Basel :
FC Basel have already secured the Swiss Championship prematurely. Since the 2: 1 success on the 30th day at the FC Luzern, the Basler the titles of this season also arithmetically no longer take. In Lucerne, the team of coach Urs Fischer showed a decent performance and could finally get through goals from Seydou Dumba and Renato Steffen. On the international stage, however, it was not so good for FC Basel in the UEFA Champions League group stage that they were in the last place in a group which was certainly not easy, and were not able to leave the competition at an early stage. The disappointment was already great in Basel, because the supporters had hoped that they would be able to win against Razgrad in the group A and win the table in the Europa League.
But nothing came of it and Urs Fischer’s team had to contend twice with the Bulgarian team. In the domestic league, it has not been running around Basel ever since the title was won, so the team could not choose one of the last four Ligaspiele. On the penultimate match day, Basel were in the league FC Sion and had to be satisfied despite a two-time lead at the end with a 2: 2 draw. Last weekend, the BSC Young Boys were even worse off, and the team of Urs Fischer conceded a 2-1 defeat in Bern after a 1: 0 lead through 1 goal from Seydou Doumbia. In the trophy, FC Basel were able to make their way into the final through a 3-1 win against FC Winterthur.
At FC Basel, the air seems to be quite a bit since the title win in the Swiss league. Therefore, the coach has to come up with something to make the team show a much better performance in the last four victories. It is also questionable whether the coach can go back to the last Raoul Petretta and Marc Janko.
Provisional lineup: Vaclik; Traore, Lang, Suchy, Akanji; The, Xhaka; Delgado, Steffen, Elyounoussi; Janko
Sion:
FC Sion is on the 4th place in the Swiss Super League, so they can still hope to qualify for the Europa League in the domestic league 2 times before the end of the season. Therefore, it was a bit strange, as the responsible persons at the end of April, the former coach Peter Zeidler, according to association, have first released. Currently, Sebastian Fournier is in charge of the team, but the team has not yet been able to make the big change, with 5 games under the new practice leader being only 1 win and 1 draw, while Sion are the losers at the end of 3 Ligas games had to. The only victory was the 32nd match when Fournier’s team got a 2-0 win against FC Lugano and a goal from Moussa Konate. Last weekend, FC Sion were unable to get through to the home side against FC Lucerne and had a 3: 2 defeat in front of their own audience. Now, for Sion, the focus is again on the trophy again, where the final finale at the beginning of April in a gripping semifinals against Lucerne could only be made in a penalty shoot-out by a 6: 5.
The current coach Sebastian Fournier will surely try everything to prepare his team for the Cup final. Finally, FC Sion has the opportunity to lead this difficult season to a good end by defeating Basel. Furthermore, the injured midfielder Carlitos is unlikely to be in this difficult task.
Provisional lineup: Mitruyshkin; Ricardo, Ziegler, Zverotic, Lüchinger; Constant, Salatic, Leo, Bia; Konate, Akolo
