The two teams ended the regular season with a defeat and will eye a better result here. How will this contest unfold? Below, I will preview this game and offer best betting predictions.

Sion are now in a difficult position and every game is now a must win. With five rounds of matches left to be played, the possibility of finishing bottom of the standings are high as this team has now gone winless in five straight matches.

Zurich: Form and Statistics

Zurich will be disappointed with how things are playing out for them despite a solid start to the season. While this team was up for a playoff spot, they will now have to fight against relegation in the final weeks of the season. 

The previous time out, this team played Young Boys and they lost 2-1. In that contest, this team went behind by two goals before the break and a Steven Zuber strike from the spot was all they could take at full time. Ahead of this game, the visiting team has now gone winless in four consecutive matches. They lost two and drew two in that run. 

Zurich Lineup

Ricardo Moniz will have to make a decision ahead of this game as few second team players will be included due to injury. not got a full squad to pick from. Benjamin Mendy still remains out due to a torn muscle fiber. However, Juan José Perea continues to deal with achilles tendon rupture while Fernand Goure is not close to returning after a knee injury. 

Zurich Expected Lineup (4-2-3-1)

Sion vs Zurich Prediction 04 May 2025

It is surprising Zurich are in the relegation group but they will now have to display character in this contest. While Sion have been inconsistent, I do not see them have an easy task here, even though they play at home. In the meantime, the past meetings between Sion and Zurich have ended in Zurich favour the most, but with Sion winning last time in this venue, it is impossible to write off any other possibility.

I feel this will be a closely contested battle, with Sion in dire need of a victory to move points close from bottom sides. Yet, we cannot write off the fact that Zurich are the better team and I will back them on the road. Also, the meetings between these two teams have always been focused on defensive play, hence, a bet on a few goals.

Our betting tip: is under 2.5 goals with odds at 2.07 on Bet365 bookmaker.
