- FC Noah Artsakh are unbeaten in their last ten matches in all competitions (Won 5, drawn 5). Sion are undefeated in their last three home games across all competitions (Won 3, scored 14 goals). Sion are the slight favourites but Noah could cause an upset.
Sion will not give an inch
FC Sion Sitten will not be an easy opponent for FC Noah Artsakh to overcome on Thursday and the visitors will have to be very patient to crack the Swiss side at the Stade Tourbillon.
Didier Tholot's men are the slight favourites for this fixture at 7/10, with Noah 403/100 and the draw 73/25.
The head-to-head is tied after one game, with Sion picking up a 2-2 draw at Noah's ground in the UEFA Conference League Qualification 2026 just over a week ago.
Sion's form is a little patchy, with two wins, two draws and one defeat in their last five games, but the quality of opposition they have faced has been superior to Noah's.
They have also played, and their form across the last ten is better - six wins, three draws and only one defeat.
Two of those fixtures produced a 3-0 home win over FC Luzern in the Super League 2026/2027 and a 2-2 draw away to Noah in UEFA Conference League Qualification 2026.
Noah will not let it get out of hand
Sandro Perkovic's side have been in good shape of late, winning three and drawing two of their last five in all competitions.
They are unbeaten in their last six away games across all comps (Won 3, drawn 3, conceded 3), so they look ready for this trip and should be capable of causing Sion some problems.
Their two most recent matches have brought a 3-0 home win over Syunik in the Premier League 2026/2027 and that 2-2 draw with Sion.
The clash of styles is an interesting one and should see a chess match rather than a thriller develop.
Sion have a good attacking threat, particularly through Rilind Nivokazi, who has scored two goals in three UEFA Conference League Qualification 2026 appearances, and Franck Surdez, who has laid on three assists in his last five.
But Perkovic is likely to stick to a pragmatic 4-3-3 with a deeper five when out of possession to stay compact and counter quickly.
Noah's chief finisher is Gor Manvelyan, who has two goals in his three appearances in this competition and two of Noah's five goals in their last five.
Sion's home punch and status as favourites makes them the most likely winner, but Noah's unbeaten run suggests the upset potential is there and this is likely to be a close affair.
