Sion vs Zurich Prediction & Betting tips
Swiss football is still competitive! In the current UEFA five-year rating, the Swiss are only in 20th place, success on the international scene has been rare in recent years. With FC Basel (against PSV Eindhoven) and FC Luzern (against Klaksvik), Switzerland was able to collect important points this week. Nevertheless, the Super League in Switzerland now has the reputation of being a training league! This weekend is the third matchday on the program – it comes in the Valais to the duel between Sion and FC Zurich!
Two teams that are fundamentally dreaming of Europe, but have to admit that claim and reality do not always match. After missing a top four finish last season, both teams can not be satisfied with the current season opener. With only one point each, Sion and FC Zurich are in positions nine and ten! Accordingly, this game is the first cellar duel of the 2019/20 season – and indeed the pressure on both sides is already clearly noticeable. Focussed on the bookmakers in the duel between Sion and FC Zurich, according to current quotas, the hosts from the Valais. The start of the tournament in Tourbillon is on Saturday at 18 clock.
Sion:
Continuity is a word that certainly is not used by Sion President Christian Constantin. Hardly a club has such a coach and player wear as the club from French Switzerland. Stephane Henchoz is now the eighth coach in the last three years! The air for the former Liverpool professional is also already thin, because the fuse of Constantin is short and a weak half-time can be enough, that he wants a new impulse again.
However, a weak start to the season is not surprising, as there are always major changes in the players’ sector as well. Automatisms can not be rehearsed after the extremely short summer preparation. However, Henchoz has to deliver and, accordingly, the head coach also looks hectic on the sideline. He also decided after a game (!) For a goalkeeper change. Mitryushkin was not even in the squad in Geneva – Kevin Fickentscher was able to record the point in a goalless draw with a strong performance.
The offensive game is much in need of improvement and a certain game idea is not really recognizable. Already in preparation, it has been shown that Sion is not a goal machine – neither against Xamax Neuchatel and Everton and Valencia was scored no goal. Just because of these results and the great pressure on the shoulders of the players, we advise against a hint to the home side at the current odds between Sion and FC Zurich!
FC Zurich:
Who remembers the last good game of FC Zurich? Even the die-hard FCZ fans will need a lot of brainpower to answer this question. Many fans will probably be the answer to the 3-0 victory on the third to last matchday of last season. There have not been many highlights for FC Zurich in this calendar year. In terms of disappointment, but some games could be enumerated.
There was pure disappointment on the first match day of the new season, when FC Zurich lost 2-0 to their home fans at the Letzigrund Stadium. The Swiss media went to court with the actors of the FCZ and the uncertainty was clearly felt in the second game against FC Luzern. After a weak start, the team increased significantly and finally offered a performance that was quite satisfactory. Ludovic Magnin was also confident about what he saw. Nevertheless, the air for the former Germany Legionnaire slowly but surely thin.
After the Super League 2018/19 experienced a true over-flood, the FC Zurich was the antithesis! Also on Saturday in Valais this tip is definitely to consider. As the only team in the Super League FC Zurich is still waiting for a goal.
