Thun - statistics & current form
FC Thun last played in the Super League between 2010 and 2020 before the Bernese Oberlanders had to go into the barrage last summer as ninth in the table. The outcome is known: The Thuners lost to FC Vaduz with 4: 5 after the first and second leg and were relegated.

Now they are back in the barrage and want to make sure that the lower class club prevails again as second in the Challenge League. However, the red-whites should still struggle with the penultimate matchday.

The strongest away team in the Challenge League
Also because the Grasshoppers weakened massively in the final moves of the season, even direct ascent would have been possible in the end. However, the Thuners awarded the "big point" to the championship lead with a 1: 3 home defeat against FC Aarau on matchday 35.

In general, the important points remained in the domestic Stockhorn Arena, where there were five defeats among the 18 home games. The Champions League participant from 2005 could therefore count on making everything clear in Sion. In the away table of the Challenge League, the FCT takes first place.

The best home defense in the Challenge League
Nevertheless, the home defense of the men from Lake Thun was also quite impressive. Carlos Bernegger's selection caught just 16 goals conceded at home in 18 games - and thus on average less than one goal conceded per game.

Sion - statistics & current form
FC Sion has been part of the Super League for 15 years in a row. The two-time Swiss champions (1992 and 1997) had to save themselves over the barrage at the end of the 2011/12 season after a hefty point deduction, but then retained the upper hand against Aarau.

Now the Sion season has been extended again after two eighth places in a row. Looking at the course of the season, this almost looks like a success. The Valais finally went into the last matchday as bottom of the table, but were able to overtake FC Vaduz with a 4-0 victory over FC Basel and prevent direct relegation.

Most goals conceded and fewest wins in the Super League
Now the Rouge et Blanc even go into the Barrage with a tailwind.
After all, there was a respectable eleven out of 21 possible points from the last seven games in the final sprint under coach Marco Walker, who was signed in March.

However, this could not hide the weaknesses of the team from the Rhone Valley. With 58 goals conceded, FC Sion is the shooting gallery of the Super League. With only eight wins from the 36 league games, the Valais have the fewest won games of all first division clubs.

Won four of the last six competitive games in Thun
For the first leg in Thun, the Rouge et Blanc's away record gives a lot of courage. Not only did Sion win four of the last six competitive games in the Stockhorn Arena, the Sion team also took half of their season wins in the Super League as a guest and ended up seventh in the away table.
Free soccer picks
With a view to the 32 away goals conceded, the focus of the Walker-Elf must be clearly on the defensive. In our opinion, this favors the tip at Thun against Sion that the first leg will not be too scoring.
Expected formation of Sion:
Fickentscher - Iapichino - Abdellaoui - Ndoye - Cavaré - Baltazar - Dié - Araz - Tosetti - Hoarau - Karlen

Betting base forecast & Switzerland Thun - Sion Switzerland tip
In the case of Thun against Sion, the prognosis must take into account that FC Sion played the significantly weaker season. With a strong final sprint and a 4-0 victory over Basel, the Valais saved themselves very impressively into the barrage and are now entering it with self-confidence. A correspondingly balanced game can be expected.
Free soccer predictions
We believe that no team wants to be catapulted into the sidelines with too brisk play in the first leg. Rather, we expect two concentrated defenders who are striving for a good starting position for the second leg. There is therefore a lot of value in the tip on a low-goal match.

For less than 2.5 goals, Thun against Sion has betting odds of 2.25, which we play with four units at Betano, the bookmaker tested by Wettbasis.
