Lausanne vs FC Sion Prediction

Right then, let's have a proper look at this Swiss Super League clash between Lausanne and FC Sion. The lads from Lausanne have been absolutely banging in the goals recently, and I mean BANGING. We're talking five against Basel, five against Young Boys - that's some serious firepower right there.

Lausanne are sitting 8th in the table but don't let that fool you, mate. Their recent form is top-notch - five wins, four draws, and just one loss in their last ten games. That's 1.90 points per game, which would have them much higher up the table if they'd been playing like this all season. At home, they're averaging 2.75 goals per game. That's not just good, that's greedy!

Now FC Sion, they're sitting pretty in 5th place with 18 points, but their form has been a bit hit and miss. Four wins, two draws, and four losses in their last ten isn't exactly setting the world alight. Funny thing though, they actually score more away from home - 2.17 goals per game on their travels compared to just 0.75 at home. Weird, right?

These two teams met back in September and it ended 0-0, but looking at how Lausanne have been playing since then, I'd be surprised if we see another goalless affair. Lausanne have won three of their five home games against Sion historically, so they've got the Indian sign over them at their place.

The stats are screaming goals at me. Lausanne are scoring for fun at home, Sion concede plenty on the road, and both teams seem to find the net more often than not. Lausanne have kept four clean sheets in their last ten, but they've also had both teams score in 60% of their games. It's one of those matches where you fancy goals but also fancy the home team to have too much firepower.

Sion come into this on the back of a 2-1 loss at Thun, while Lausanne beat Zurich 2-1 away from home. The momentum is definitely with the home side, and when you consider they've put five past both Basel and Young Boys recently, you've got to think they'll fancy their chances against a Sion side that's been a bit leaky on the road.

Key Points:

• Lausanne in brilliant form: 5W, 4D, 1L in last 10 games

• Home side averaging 2.75 goals per game at home

• Sion score more away (2.17) than at home (0.75)

• Lausanne have won 60% of home games vs Sion historically

• Both teams tend to score - Lausanne BTTS 60%, Sion BTTS 50%

• Last meeting ended 0-0 but both teams in different form now

The way I see it, Lausanne's home form is just too strong to ignore. They're scoring goals for fun and have been mixing it with the big boys, putting five past both Basel and Young Boys. Sion have been inconsistent and concede plenty on their travels. At 2.05 for the home win, that looks like decent value to me.
