- Champions: FC Thun are the champions of Switzerland in 2026, 74 points after 35 Super League Championship Group matches.
- Standings: FC Sion Sitten are in fourth place on 58 points after 35 games.
Sion favourites to extend winning streak
FC Sion Sitten are in terrific form, unbeaten in their last five matches, having won their last four, including excellent away wins at FC Basel (2-0) and FC St. Gallen (3-0). Didier Tholot’s side have taken four points from their last two at home and should be favored to win on Sunday against the champions, FC Thun, who have lost their last two and have three straight away defeats in the league.
Sion’s odds are 1.75, however, while Thun are a rather generous 4.16 in the betting, and it is not easy to see why they are not closer. Thun have been so far ahead of the rest this season that they have not needed to do anything much to win most of their matches. However, there is a feeling in the Thun camp that the players are either tired or complacent or both after winning the title.
Benjamin Kololli has been Sion’s main threat recently, with one goal in his last two Super League Championship Group appearances. Kevin Bua plays a key role in Tholot’s system, his movement and technique allowing the team to break lines and change the point of attack. Valmir Matoshi has scored one in his two Super League Championship Group games to lead the way from up front.
Style clash could lead to transitional thriller
Tactical approaches
A clash of styles could make for an intriguing chess game between these two clubs on Sunday with the visitors likely to prevail. Sion are a patient build-up team, with a double pivot and wide outlets giving them the platform to control the game’s tempo and probe for gaps.
Thun play a much more direct and transition-first game, with a compact defence and strikers, whose pace and power on the counter can be lethal. Mauro Lustrinelli’s approach has led FC Thun to the Super League title in 2026, but the recent results suggest the players have not been as motivated for the last few games.
Home form
Sion have a solid home record in the Super League Championship Group (W8, D6, L3) and average 1.47 goals per game while conceding only 0.71 per match on their home field - a testament to the solidity of Tholot’s tactics.
Thun to give it a good try
Over 2.5 goals is a very clear favourite at 1.48, but that may be the value for this game with both sides still having plenty to play for. Thun will not want to drop out of the top of the table after so many weeks at the summit, but this is also a chance for them to make some history and play for the pride of being the best team in Switzerland.
Sion have everything to play for in a bid to finish in the top six and remain a domestic force. They will be more motivated than the visitors, but Thun have scored 34 goals on the road in the Super League Championship Group (12 wins from 17) and know exactly what they have to do to hurt their opponents, which is to keep the ball wide, make them work for it and then hit them on the break with clinical precision.
