The two hottest teams in the Swiss Super League face off on Sunday, with FC Thun riding high atop the standings on 52 points from 23 games, and FC Sion Sitten in a respectable fifth on 34. The FC Thun vs FC Sion Sitten preview highlights how both sides have shown great potential this season.
Mauro Lustrinelli has done a tremendous job since taking over at Thun in July 2022, as he has overseen his team’s rise to the peak of the Super League.
His proactive, possession-based approach, which employs midfield overloads and coordinated pressing to win the ball back and create vertical attacks, has seen his side win four of the last five head-to-head meetings with Sion, with the other ending in a 1-1 draw.
Thun have won seven, drawn once and lost three of their 11 home matches in the Super League, conceding just 14 goals in the process. Our FC Thun vs FC Sion Sitten prediction is that Thun's home advantage could again prove decisive, especially given their recent form. Their red-hot form has seen them win their last two at home, and their recent scalps include a 4-1 home win over BSC Young Boys Bern and away victories at Servette (3-1) and Basel (2-1).
Christopher Ibayi is Thun’s main forward threat with eight Super League goals in 20 appearances this season, while Elmin Rastoder has chipped in with three goals, scoring 3 of their last 9 goals during Thun’s current five-match winning streak.
Sion could make it tight
FC Sion have been much less convincing in their Super League matches, with a record of just three wins, six draws and two losses in 11 away matches. This FC Thun vs FC Sion Sitten prediction will likely rest on whether Sion can break their inconsistent away form.
Didier Tholot has done an excellent job since joining Sion in July 2023, as his pragmatic, low-risk, compact, physical style of soccer has kept his team in contention this season.
Rilind Nivokazi is Sion’s best chance of scoring a goal on Sunday, as he has eight goals in his 23 Super League appearances, while Sion's latest results include a 4-3 extra-time defeat to Grasshopper Club Zurich in the Swiss Cup and a 0-0 draw at home to FC Luzern in the Super League.
Sion are the slightest minnows on the day with odds of 3.21, while Thun are 2.11, which seems about right to us as it is a battle of styles in which Thun should just edge out a stubborn Sion side.
For those seeking value, this FC Thun vs FC Sion Sitten betting tips article suggests the under bet seems worthwhile given the contrasting styles of these teams with Thun’s forward approach likely to be thwarted by Sion’s low block and counter-attacking football. Thun have been in great form at home, but Sion have only lost two of their 11 away matches and have scored 19 goals in those fixtures, so they can certainly get on the scoresheet on the counterattack.
