Their home record is impressive, and their attacking capabilities are formidable. With an average of 2.1 goals scored per game and a solid defense that concedes just 1.1 goals on average, Basel is well-positioned to leverage their strengths.

Conversely, FC Sion's away struggles, particularly with an average of 1.0 goals scored and a concerning 2.0 goals conceded in away fixtures, highlight their vulnerabilities. They've faced significant challenges on the road, and their inability to secure clean sheets makes it difficult for them to gather points away from home.
