Winterthur vs Sion Prediction 22 May 2025

Winterthur have their fate on their hands, and being honest, they have got the higher chances of booking their place in the Super League next season. However, the visiting Sion team has just been too good since postseason, and they have put up a good competition, going on an unbeaten run which literally saved their season. Yet, this is a game which Winterthur have to win as they can not rely on other fixtures’ results. In the meantime, the major problem is if Sion will make this game an easy one for them as they will also be focused on ending the season on a positive side ahead of next season. Moreover, Winterthur are at home turf where they remain unbeaten in their last four matches, being a fortress. The two teams however, have struggled in defense this season conceding over 55 goals each already. Therefore, a bet on goals. Also, with how important this game is for Winterthur, I do not expect them to drop points at the end of the final whistle.
