Sion and Noah will be tough to split
This match looks a really tough call, with Noah priced as slight favourites at 2.6 and Sion coming in at 2.62. The draw at 3.3 is way too big too and it looks likely that we could see a narrow game on Thursday.
Noah's Sandro Perkovic has a team that is compact, well organised and difficult to break down. They are unbeaten in their last 10 in all competitions (6 wins, 4 draws), so Sion will have to work hard to break them down.
They have taken momentum into this clash after a 1-1 away draw with FC Zimbru Chisinau and a 2-1 home win against the same opponent. They will line up in a 4-3-3 or 4-2-3-1, stay low and compact and try to nick the game through set pieces and fast breaks.
Sion are also in a strong vein across all comps, going 6 wins, 3 draws and 1 defeat in their last 10. They are well organised and set up in a 4-2-3-1 or 4-4-2 with Didier Tholot, who has been in charge since 1 July 2023.
They are slightly quicker in transition, where they are better positioned to exploit turnovers with a short burst of pressing. They tend to be the sharpest side with their passing, but Noah are solid at home, where they have won 2 and drawn 1 of their last 3.
Sion are decent on the road, with 3 wins, 2 draws and 1 defeat in their last 6, but they have conceded 11 in that period (average 1.83 per game). Their most recent European statement was a 4-0 home win over BATE Borisov in the UEFA Conference League Qualification 2026, while they lost 4-2 away to BSC Young Boys in the Super League 2026/2027.
These two teams are hard to split, with Noah having a slight edge due to home advantage, but it would be no surprise if this finished level.
There is still value in Both Teams To Score at 1.67, but Over 2.5 goals is a near pick-em at 1.87, and we feel that both selections are in play here. Noah and Sion will look to stay compact and we believe they will be content to play out a close game that could go either way. Noah will be looking to absorb pressure and get on the counter, while Sion will fancy their ability to get in behind. We believe they will be difficult to separate and that a draw is on the cards in this match.
