FC Sion v Grasshoppers Zurich : Super League match betting preview, prediction and odds

Sat 18th Jan, 17:00 BST, Tourbillon, Sion

FC Sion and their boss Didier Tholot will be hoping for victory against Marco Schallibaum and his Grasshoppers Zurich side on Saturday evening, as the pair clash at the Tourbillon in the Super League. The aim of this preview is, quite simply, to help you make the smartest bet possible. To this end, stats for the biggest betting market have been published below, with head-to-head records and particularly important form streaks highlighted. Odds from the UK's biggest bookmakers are included as well.


Best Tip: Under 3.5 goals

Our calculations suggest that it's unlikely that this fixture will serve up more than 3 goals at most, and the odds and statistics align with our predictive algorithm on this one. Sion and Grasshoppers have seldom been involved in a high volume of goals of late, whether that be in the Super League individually or in their head-to-head duals. So, in the absence of a convincing favourite win or double chance market, we're suggesting under 3.5 goals. You can go for that at a best price of 1.25.

Goal Statistics

An absolutely awful PG of just 0.9 should cause concerns for Grasshoppers Zurich fans, as should a 11 Super League matches run in which they have failed to score more than 1 goal.
