Thun vs Sion Prediction & Betting tips
On Matchday 27 of the Swiss Super League, there will be a duel between FC Thun and FC Sion in the Stockhorn Arena. The kick-off is on Thursday evening at 19 o’clock. Thun is still one of the surprises of the season as third in the table. But with five league games in a row without victory, the Bernese Oberlanders are in a minor crisis for the first time this season. However, the advantage over a non-European Cup is still five points. Nevertheless, the FCT has to find its way back on the road to success quickly, otherwise it could be tight again with the participation in the international business.
On Tuesday, FC Sion was awarded three points at the green table from the demolition game on 16 March against bottom club Grasshopper Club Zurich. At the score of 2: 0 for Sion, the fans of Zurich had provoked a game crash by pyrotechnics. Now the match was scored 3: 0 for the FCS. Thus, the team of Murat Yakin is with 32 points in sixth place. The first Europa League place is only one point away.
Thun:
The FC Thun Bernese Oberland has for years one of the smallest budgets of the Swiss Super League. Before the beginning of each season, Thun is one of the relegation candidates. But since the return to the upper house in 2010, the club reached despite the modest financial resources always secure midfield. Only in the previous year, the Bernese Oberland fought for a while against relegation and managed in the end with the seventh place the worst classification of the last eight years. For this reason, the best placement for quite some time should jump out this year. The FC Thun is playing a great season and is third in the table as the first pursuer of the two top Swiss teams Bern and Basel. However, the gap to the Young Boys is 31 points and Basel ten points. In the last league games a bit of sand got into the gears of the FCT. The balance in this period is three draws and two defeats. Last Sunday, coach Marc Schneider’s men suffered a last-minute defeat at Xamax Neuchatel. Nuzzolo scored the winning goal for the home side in the 91st minute.
However, no one wants to talk about a crisis among the upper countries. Compared to last year, the club is finally there. But sporting director Andres Gerber is currently missing the aggression in the duels, the presence on the field and the irrepressible will. With Captain Dennis Hediger and winger Matteo Tosetti still missing two absolute performers injured. Coach Schneider’s team reached the semi-finals in the Swiss Cup. On April 23, the FC meets there on the Lucerne FC and wants to reach a cup final for the first time in 64 years. 50 goals has scored the FC Thun Bernese Oberland in the previous 26 league games. What is noticeable is that the Thuner only really dangerous in the second round. In the first half, the FCT met only 15 times so far. Things are going very well in the Stockhorn Arena, where the Thuners have only lost out as a loser once this season. In the attack Thun can rely on Dejan Sorgic and Marvin Spielmann. With 25 hits, both have scored half of all Thuner goals. The use of Karlen against Sion is still questionable.
Sion:
As early as September 2018, Murat Yakin took over FC Sion. But only gradually can the righteous really get their decent potential. The coach, who previously played in the Bundesliga for VfB Stuttgart and 1. FC Kaiserslautern, seems to have slowly found his first seed. Compared to the formation against the grasshoppers Yakin took on Saturday against FC Zurich only one change. The FCS were aggressive and well organized and won 1-0 thanks to Grgic’s early goal. With the win against Zurich, the Wallis remained for the first time in eight games without a clean sheet and managed the first home win against the FCZ for almost four years. With the three points from the demolition game against the Grasshopper Club Zurich FC Sion is also fully in the race for the European Cup places.
However, the Sionese lost their last three league appearances in a row. If you look at the balance sheet, you will notice Thun vs. Thun. Sion a forecast on the guests quite difficult. One of the absolute achievers in this season is Bastien Toma, who is now on the list for some of Europe’s top clubs. Ndoye, Djitte, Mitryushkin, Raphael, Kukeli, Adryan and Maisonnial are currently missing. After all, celebrated the Portuguese Carlitos after several months of injury break against Zurich his comeback. Trouble was with Brazilian Adryan, who used his injury break at the weekend to attend a poker tournament in France. In this case, every professional, whether injured or suspended, must appear at the club for home games. Adryan is now waiting for a punishment.
