YOUR TICKETS FOR SION - THOUNE
LE FC SION
It may only be the eighth round of the Challenge League when Sédun and Bern cross swords tomorrow in Tourbillon, but this duel could perhaps mark the first turning point in both teams' seasons. FC Sion, on the back of two draws against Baden and Schaffhausen, need to get back to winning ways, or at least remain unbeaten.
Having returned late from the long trip to Schaffhausen, Didier Tholot and his men have had just two training sessions to prepare for the visit of FC Thun. The week also continues on Friday with a trip to Neuchâtel. Not a crucial week, but an important one for the Valaisans.
LE FC THOUNE
Every season, FC Thun are among the contenders for promotion. The Bernese club's good performances since the start of the season confirm this: Mauro Lustrinelli and his team will be a force to be reckoned with when it comes to the top spots. In seven games, the Bernese have lost just once to Neuchâtel Xamax (4-0). In the league, the Oberland club have now won three matches against Bellinzona, Wil and Aarau, scoring eight goals in the process. This is the second-best attack in the Challenge League.
Mauro Lustrinelli can call on experienced players such as Koro Koné. Promoted last season with Yverdon, the striker has scored three league goals since the start of the season. Roland Ndongo and Daniel Dos Santos complete the list of top scorers for FC Thun, also with three goals.
