FC Sion Sitten
- FC Sion Sitten have won one and drawn four of their last five matches in all competitions, including a 1-1 draw at home to Luzern ten days ago.
- Tholot has implemented a disciplined, compact, 4-2-3-1 system since arriving at the helm in July 2023, which makes Sion very difficult to beat, while his team’s excellent defensive record at home and ability to transition from defence to attack quickly have been keys to their success.
- FC Sion Sitten have conceded nine goals in 11 Super League 2025-2026 home fixtures, while FC Luzern have allowed 19 in 11 on the road.
FC Luzern
- FC Luzern have won one, drawn two and lost two of their last five league matches, and failed to win on either of their last two trips to Sion.
- Luzern have played a high-tempo, high-press game since Frick took charge in December 2021, aiming to force mistakes and win the ball high up the pitch in order to exploit space in direct, vertical transitions.
- Luzern have won four, drawn three and lost four of their 11 road games in the Super League 2025-2026, so they are inconsistent.
Head-to-Head
But the last two head-to-head clashes have both been draws and this one could be close.
Key Players
Sion’s main offensive weapon is Rilind Nivokazi , who has scored eight goals in 22 league appearances, while Luzern’s attacking focal point is Matteo Di Giusto , who has seven in 22.
Betting Insights
- Sion are the bookmakers’ favorites at 1.9 for this contest, while underdog Luzern are 3.7 and the draw 3.65, which seems too short for a game that has finished level on two successive occasions, most recently with a 1-1 in Luzern’s last trip to Sion ten days ago.
- The Over 2.5 goals line is short at 1.67, so this game has the potential to be an attacking game of chess, where the ability of these sides to play wide and control the ball in transition could decide the outcome.
Prediction
Sion’s superior form and defensive stability at home this season, combined with the fact that Luzern have been leaking 1.73 goals per game on average away from home , suggests that the hosts are most likely to win this contest.
