BATE 1-1 Sion result, stats and report

Ajax put Sion to the sword with a dominant 5-3 victory in the UEFA Europa Conference League, with Tolu Arokodare netting twice and Winsley Boteli completing a hat-trick for the Swiss side in a match that had everything except defensive competence.

Sion controlled possession, created more chances, and had nearly three times as many shots as Lugano, but Lugano won 2-1 in the Swiss Super League thanks to a third-minute header and a late Beckham Castro strike that settled the argument.

Sion ground out a dramatic 3-2 victory over Thun in the Swiss Super League, with substitute Josias Lukembila scoring in the fourth minute of stoppage time to settle a match that Thun had threatened to steal despite finishing with ten men.

Ajax recovered from going behind to win 4-2 in Switzerland, with three second-half headers and clinical use of substitutes revealing a game plan that Sion simply had no answer to after the interval.

Sion host a Zürich side that has taken one point from seven away matches this season, making Saturday's trip to the Valais a fixture that could define the early trajectory of both clubs' campaigns.

St. Gallen carry a significant injury burden into Saturday's home fixture against a Sion side that has scored freely on the road this season. The structural gap between these two squads makes this one of the more interesting tactical puzzles of the Swiss Super League weekend.

Sion welcome a Thun side carrying a worrying injury list and a goal difference of minus six to the Tourbillon, where the hosts have won both of their home fixtures this season without dropping a point. Something has to give in the Swiss Super League on Sunday afternoon.

Basel host Sion in the Swiss Super League on Thursday 3 September 2026, and the early data paints a genuinely interesting picture. Sion arrive in fine form with a positive xG balance and goals flowing freely, while Basel's underlying defensive numbers raise real questions about their ability to keep things tight at home.
