Football – Switzerland – Super League Betting Tips

Sion started their new Swiss Super League campaign in disappointing fashion as they ended up on the losing side, going down to a heavy 3-0 defeat away at Basle last weekend.

However, they will head into this evening’s clash against St Gallen in reasonably confident mood as they ended last season’s campaign with an unbeaten six-match run at their Stade de Tourbillon which included wins over Thun, Grasshopper, Lugano and Young Boys.

Sion will be needing to at least replicate last season’s home record of  11-2-5  31/20 in this term which would help them towards a challenge for a Europa League place, and they face St Gallen here who finished in the bottom half of the division last season.

Onto St Gallen then, and as mentioned, they finished up in 7th place (out of a 10-team division) last season as their season imploded in dramatic fashion following four defeats in their last five matches overall.

Indeed, St Gallen won just once in their last eight matches, or twice in their last 15 matches in the Super League if you dig a bit deeper, so their chances of getting something away at Sion this evening appear to be slim at best.

In addition, St Gallen’s away record last season ended up on a below-par  3-4-11 16/34 and they were without an away win from their last eight matches on the road. They also failed to score on six occasions and kept just three clean sheets on their travels all term.
