FC Thun vs FC Sion Prediction

Right then, let's have a proper look at this Swiss Super League cracker! Thun are sitting pretty at the top of the table, and frankly, they're playing like they own the place. Eight wins from eleven games - that's proper title form, that is. They've just turned over Sion 1-0 away, smashed Winterthur 3-0 at home, and generally been making mincemeat of most teams who've turned up.

But here's the interesting bit - Sion might be fourth in the table, but they're like Jekyll and Hyde. At home, they couldn't hit a barn door with a banjo (0.6 goals per game), but on their travels? Blimey, they're like a different beast entirely! Two-point-four goals per away game - that's some serious firepower. They've just put three past ST Gallen, and they're not shy about having a go.

When these two have met before, it's usually Thun who come out on top (6 wins to 2), but here's the thing - both teams usually get on the scoresheet. Seven out of nine meetings have seen both teams score, and the recent matches have been proper tight affairs.

Thun are scoring for fun at home (two goals per game), while Sion are basically goal tourists when they're away from home. Both teams have got leaky defences too, which makes for a right old mix. The goal expectancy is sitting at around 2.00 for Thun and 1.82 for Sion - that's goals written all over it, isn't it?

The form book says Thun should take this, but Sion's away scoring record is no joke. They've won three of their last five away matches, and they're not just parking the bus - they're coming to play.

Key Points:

• Thun top of the table with 25 points, flying high

• Sion score 2.4 goals per away game - mental stats!

• Both teams have scored in 7/9 head-to-head meetings

• Thun just beat Sion 1-0 a few days ago

• Both teams concede regularly - defences not exactly watertight

Look, I'm not messing about here. Both teams to score looks like money for old rope. Thun are banging them in at home, Sion can't stop scoring away, and history shows both usually find the net. At 1.60, that's decent value for what looks like a dead cert.
