Sion vs. FC Zurich Match Preview Article
Welcome to the Turboscores match preview of the upcoming match between Sion and FC Zurich, taking place on Wednesday, 30 October 2024, at Stade de Tourbillon in Sion.
Sion, Recent Form
A 2-2 draw and a point gained against St. Gallen in their previous meeting will have been considered a fairly decent result for Sion last time out. They achieved 36% possession in that match and had 13 strikes at goal, with 3 hitting the target, up against St. Gallen's tally of 9 efforts at goal, 3 of which were on target.
When it comes to attacking power Didier Tholot will be justly satisfied with his squad's performances of late, which has seen them chalk up 4 goals in their last 6 matches. However, it hasn't all been going well, and questions remain about their defence with 8 goals lost in those 6 matches resulting in some crucial points dropped. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 home games, but they have failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 games overall.
They've not been beaten at Stade de Tourbillon in 11 league games, but with just a single point from each of their last 4 games there, the Sion fans will be beginning to wonder how long they'll have to wait to see their team win at home again.
Dejan Sorgić will be keen to add his name to the scoresheet and build on his current scoring record of 3 goals in the last 6 league games for Sion.
FC Zurich, Recent Form
There will be a feeling of disappointment amongst the FC Zurich players having failed to take any points away from their recent 3-1 home defeat at the hands of Servette. They came away from that fixture with a 55% share of the possession and clocked up 15 attempts on goal with 2 on target, in comparison to Servette, who managed 15 attempts on goal, 7 of which were on target.
While they have shown an appetite for goals over the last 6 matches, clocking up 8, they have not had it all their own way at the back and have given away 9 goals and some valuable points in the process. Their goal scoring streak now stands at 15 games in a row.
They have had a strong run of away form recently, being undefeated in 5 of their last 6 games on the road and picking up 4 wins along the way.
Away from home in the league, Antonio Marchesano has given the FC Zurich travelling fans plenty to get excited about, with 4 goals from their last 6 games on the road.
Sion vs. FC Zurich Head to head
The last meeting between these 2 teams in the league resulted in an unsurprising 1-0 win for FC Zurich.
Der Stadtclub have managed to keep a clean sheet against Sion in each of their previous 2 visits to Stade de Tourbillon. From their past 8 away matches in the league against Sion, Der Stadtclub have managed to find the net with at least 1 goal and will be aiming to keep that streak going. The FC Zurich defence tends to hold pretty firm when they visit Sion in the league, with FC Zurich conceding just 1 goal in their last 3 meetings.
In the league, FC Zurich has a good track record when they travel to Sion, getting the better of them to win their last 2 games.
