Sion take on the visitors Lugano in the round 2 match of Swiss Super League. The match will be played on Sunday, August 3rd at Stade de Tourbillon (Sion).
Sion are remembered less for their lone peak in the late 20th century — when they won both of their league titles and a string of domestic cups — and more for their leadership’s frequent off-field controversies. That chaos didn’t help them avoid relegation after their previous promotion. However, when they returned in 2024, they appeared much better prepared. With 11 wins and 11 draws, Sion collected 44 points and finished 9th, comfortably mid-table. They kicked off the new season with an away game in Zurich, where they were trailing 0-2 until the 80th minute. Remarkably, they managed a dramatic comeback and snatched a 3-2 victory in the final minutes.

Lugano are once again entering a football year with a packed schedule. The Black and Whites have never truly been a dominant force in Swiss football. While Basel and Young Boys have taken turns at the top in recent decades, Lugano’s three league titles all came between 1938 and 1949. More recently, though, they’ve shown consistency in cup competitions — winning the Swiss Cup in 2022, reaching the final again a year later, and finishing runners-up in the league in 2024. Last season, they slipped slightly to fourth place, but it was still enough to secure a spot in the Europa League qualifiers. There, however, they faced a tough opponent in CFR Cluj and failed to score across both legs, losing 0-1 on aggregate. They also opened the domestic league with a disappointing 1-2 home defeat against newly promoted Thun, despite taking an early lead.
Lugano had four wins and three draws in recent matchups, but they lost 1-2 away in March. This feels like the right time for the hosts to secure another win over this opponent. To stay on the safe side, we recommend backing Sion with a 0 handicap.
Prediction for the match: Sion to win with 0.0 handicap.
