THE PREDICTION

Sion will be hoping for a better season in the Super League after finishing just one spot ahead of the relegation play-off last season. They face a tough assignment to start this campaign with Basel the visitors but it is the away side that are favoured to make a good start with a win here. Koller’s men will be desperate to start the season well and compete with Young Boys, and a highly-motivated Basel side should have too much for Sion.
