What can be written about FC Sion at the beginning of the Swiss Super League season?
FC Sion finished last season on the third last place in the table and thus prevented just the descent. With the start of the new season, they hired Stephane Henchoz as the new coach. In two games against Basel, he sat as a coach on the bench. Both games lost his men. He was previously coach at NE Xamax.
Free soccer tips
A team that rose last season to the Swiss highest football league and made it to the league. In 19 games under his leadership Xamax decided eight games for himself and made for three draws. The goal balance of 27:29 leaves little hope. The fact is that his success rate as a coach currently has a value of 1.29 PPS. For this season he got eight new players. Two of the Ligue 2, one of the Serie A and the most famous among the new entrants should probably be Anton Grgic from VfB Stuttgart.

On the other hand, eight players were dropped, including Moussa Djitte. Grgic scored nine times in 58 Super League games and shared seven assists. Bitter for Henchoz and his team may be that his strongest new signing and three other players fail due to injury. Among others, Raphael Rossi, Grgic, Martin Angha and Alexandre Nsakala will not be able to play. Whereby the three other players are defenders. Sion played five games against Basel last year and lost all of them. Twice even without landing a goal. Sion scored five times in these games and Basel 13 times. The fact is not exactly a win in the betting tips and predictions for this Swiss Super League game, but rather for an over / under bet.

Can FC Basel 1893 build on the success of last season?
FC Basel was runner-up and Swiss cup winner last year. In addition, they were the second strongest away team in the Swiss Super League. Under Marcel Koller, who has been under contract to Basel since 2018, they have played 44 games so far, 29 of which have won and ten draws. Thus, only five games were lost. In these games they hit 94 times while allowing only 52 points.
Free soccer tips
If you look at the results of the direct duels with Sion from 2017 until today, it is noticeable that Basel has won eight out of ten games and only drew twice. Twice she and Sion met only nine times. Presumably, this balance is not much to add. For completeness, it should be mentioned that they won 60 out of 124 games against Sion and drew 36 times. Basel has no losses in return for Sion. Koller got eight new players for this season and lost as many. The most famous newcomers are Omar Alderete of Huracan and Kemal Ademi of NE Xamax. Ademi, the center forward, scored eight times in 26 Super League games. Robin Huser and Marek Suchy were handed over.

Bet Tip and Forecast
We assume that FC Basel will win and can advise you on a tip 2. Striking are the lucrative odds of the sports betting providers. Presumably over 2.5 goals will fall and both teams will be good for goals. For this reason, we can recommend you the over- and special bet. If you are a little unsure whether Basel win the opening game and assume that a draw might be achieved, then in our view there is only one draw no bet tip 2 bet left. For all other variants, except for a tip X course, the odds of bookmakers would not be really lucrative.

The Swiss Super League starts on Friday evening with two games in the new season. It comes in the Stade de Tourbillon to the duel between FC Sion and FC Basel. After eight championships in a row, Basel has been badly dethroned by the Young Boys Bern in the last two seasons. In the season 2017/18 YB had a lead of 15 points on the vice-champion FCB, 2018/19 there were even 20 counters. Can FCB close the gap to Bern again this season? Or maybe even catch up? Or even become master again?

In September 2018, FC Sion Murat Yakin committed as a new coach. At the beginning of May, the coach was already on leave again, although his contract had been extended until the end of January until 2021. Christian Zermatten and Under-21 coach Sebastien Bichard coached the team until the end of the season, but the Wallis could only lead to eighth place, the first non-relegation zone. Now Stephane Henchoz is the new man on the coaching chair. Henchoz, who played as a professional for clubs like the HSV or Liverpool, had taken over a coaching place in the Super League for the first time last season and led the promoted Xamax to relegation. King transfer of the Sionese was Valon Behrami. The 80-times international has played more than 200 Serie A and over 100 Premier League games and returns to the Swiss league after 16 years. How fit Behrami is remains questionable. In spring, the now 34-year-old broke the fibula.

Due to these defensive successes of the Sioner in the preparation, one could at the opening game Sion Vs. FC Basel think about a forecast of passable odds on few goals.

OPINION OF BK "LIGA BETS" EXPERTS TO MATCH SENEGAL - ALGERIA:
It is curious that the tie in the group stage, in which the Algerian team was stronger, defeated the opponent. The match of the second round was not very spectacular and ended with a minimum of points, so we can expect a stubborn fight. The final is an opposition on a completely different level, and here the price for a mistake is much higher. It's extremely difficult to predict a favorite, so you should only enjoy high quality football. Who gets the trophy?
