Sion (home)
- Sion have won three of their last five (D1, L1)
- At home, Sion have won five, drawn two and lost only three of their ten league games to date, scoring 1.40 goals per game while conceding at only 0.80 per game.
- The hosts set up in a compact 4-4-2 or 5-3-2 that invites pressure onto them and then counters when they can.
- They will be particularly dangerous when Rilind Nivokazi is in form, although Ilyas Chouaref has scored two of Sion’s last four goals.
Luzern (away)
- Luzern have won two and lost three of their last five, losing 2-5 to Lugano in their latest league game.
- Luzern are four places lower in the standings, but have an attacking ethos under Mario Frick.
- Their 4-3-3 formation is attack-minded, with lots of pressing and plenty of width to stretch the opposition, particularly when Matteo Di Giusto is on his game as he is with seven league goals from 20 appearances.
- Luzern have won four, drawn two and lost four of their 10 away games so far, scoring 17 goals in total.
- Their recent results have been mixed with two wins and three defeats in the last five, so they arrive in Sion with an inferior record to the hosts who are currently on a three-match home winning streak.
Head-to-Head
Sion have won one of the last five head-to-head matches against Luzern, who have won three (D1), but last season’s game at Luzern finished 3-3 in an exciting game that promises a close game.
