Relegation battle in the Super League – Winterthur enters the basement duel with good Sion memories – Sport

While the tension at the top is unofficially long gone and officially gone since last weekend, there is still trembling in the Super League at the other end of the table.

In fact, half of midfield is still involved in the relegation battle, but Sion (9th place) and Winterthur (10th) have the worst cards with 3 and 5 points respectively behind in 8th place. On Saturday there will now be a “red and white” direct duel in the table cellar.

Sion as favorite opponent

The inclined football connoisseur knows: In the tourbillon, a classic 6-point game is on the agenda. With a home win, Sion could (possibly decisively) pull away from Winterthur. Should Zurich win, they would overtake Valais and exacerbate their crisis.

Symbolic for the game: Sion, the weakest home team in the league (10 points), welcomes Winterthur, the weakest away team in the league (10 points). However, an away win for the Winterthurers would not be so unlikely: After all, FCW got a remarkable 7 points from the 3 direct encounters with Sion since promotion.

The people of Zurich should generally travel to Valais with good memories. Winterthur celebrated their first and hitherto highest victory in the Super League away from home (3:1) – at the beginning of October, during their last visit to Sion.
