Sion

Current form
Sion have played at a good level in recent matches. The team has won three of the four matches they have played. In the national championship, with 20 points scored, the team is in the relegation group, four points behind the playoff zone. The handicap is, in principle, small, but the main thing is that a new streak of bad luck does not begin.
In the last round of the cup, Sion played a match with a little-known club, Young Fallow Juventus. In that match, they managed to win with class with a score of 2:0. In the upcoming match, they will not be able to win with class against their opponent, because the guests are of a lower playing level.

1.55Tip and bets
Basel managed to overcome the protracted crisis of last season and is once again at the top of Swiss football. Sion played in the First League last season, so the instability that the team is showing is quite expected. The visitors have not yet gained the form that would allow them to win against a stronger opponent.
Our prediction is a Basel victory with odds of 1.64
Bet on total
In their last three away defeats, Sion have failed to score against Lausanne, Servette and Zurich. The upcoming opponent is stronger in terms of play than their previous opponents, so we will bet on the visitors not even being able to score, let alone fight for victory and advance to the next round of the national cup.
Second bet - at least one will not score with odds of 2.01
Bet on corners
If Basel doesn't slack off and plays the way they can, then in front of their local fans they are unlikely to lose in any way.
Our prediction: Basel will take more corners with odds of 1.50
