Basel, Recent FormFailing to acquire any points in their 1-0 away defeat by Grasshoppers will have left the Basel squad feeling a little deflated. In that game they had 55% possession and managed 17 attempts on goal, with 6 on target, compared to Grasshoppers who had 9 attempts and 3 on target.
It's reasonable to say they have enjoyed some decent goal scoring form of late, with 5 goals notched up in their last 6 matches, but while their offensive line is working, their defensive setup has shown cause for concern with 6 goals shipped and valuable points dropped. It's clear that with only 2 clean sheets from the last 6 matches at home, Alex Frei will have some concerns regarding his squad's defensive abilities of late.
They've been performing well at St. Jakob-Park of late, with an unbeaten record of 5 games from 6, 3 of which were wins.
Sion, Recent FormThe Sion squad will be suffering from a feeling of disappointment after falling to a 1-0 home defeat against Zürich, which saw them drop all three points and come away from the game empty-handed. In that game they recorded 53 % of the possession, with 13 attempts on goal, 4 on target. Their opponents found the target on 4 of their 12 shots on goal.
Despite scoring 6 goals in their last 6 matches, they have failed to pick up many points, mainly because their back line have shipped 14 goals in that same period. On the road, they are showing great consistency in finding the back of the net, having scored in 4 of their last 6 away games. They are in some turmoil defensively at the moment and have been unable to record a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 games.
There will be mixed feelings from Sion, having been undefeated in their last 3 away league games, but drawn the last 3 of these games.
Goalscorer Mario Balotelli will be planning to get himself on the scoresheet once more, having notched up 3 goals in his last 6 league matches for Sion.
