Winterthur will be looking to secure a win that would ensure their place in the Swiss top flight next season when they host Sion on Thursday evening.
The hosts are just one point off the bottom three, while Sion are safe with a lead of eight points over the relegation zone.
Winterthur fought hard last weekend by coming from a two goals deficit to draw 2:2 with Yverdon, ensuring that they remain in control of their own destiny going into the final game of the campaign. That result meant Uli Forte and co have now avoided defeat in each of their last four home games. Having picked up two wins in that spell, they will be confident of getting the much-needed three points on Thursday.
Meanwhile, Benjamin Kololli’s brace was enough to secure the three points for Sion last weekend, although Grasshoppers scored a consolation goal in stoppage time. The visitors are now unbeaten in four games, with two wins, but they have struggled on the road recently. In fact, the Sedunois and the Valaisans have not won any of their last eleven away games, losing eight of them.
FC Winterthur vs FC Sion Betting Tips: Both teams to score
The entertaining 2:2 draw with Yverdon last weekend was yet another example of Winterthur's recent defensive struggles. Uli Forte’s side have not kept a clean sheet in their last three games and shipped seven goals in the process.
Sion can’t boast a strong defence either, with the visitors having failed to keep a clean sheet in their last nine Swiss Super League games. Bets on both teams to score won in seven of those encounters, and I expect a similar outcome on Thursday.

FC Winterthur team news
Midfielder Fabian Rohner has missed the last 37 games due to a cruciate ligament injury and Thursday’s game will come too soon for him.
Despite his own goal against Yverdon last time, Loïc Lüthi is expected to keep his place at the heart of the defence alongside Remo Arnold, while Nishan Burkart will again lead the line.
