Super League Live on blue Sport<\/p>\n
It was a historic triumph on the afternoon of April 26. After 37 games without a win at St. Jakob-Park, the Valais team took home three points from Basel for the first time in a long while. And that\u2019s not all: Thanks to the 2-0 away win, FC Sion overtook last season\u2019s double winner, claimed the European Cup spot, and never relinquished it.<\/p>\n
For Lichtsteiner, it was his second loss in his second matchup against Didier Tholot\u2019s FC Sion. Back in February, Basel had already lost their away game in Sion 0\u20132. Basel\u2019s coach must at all costs prevent a third consecutive loss\u2014even though he\u2019s likely given himself some breathing room with the team\u2019s promising start to the season (ten points from five matches).<\/p>\n
The Sitten team is heading to Basel in somewhat disheartened spirits. Not only did they have to bury their European Cup dreams in their match against Ajax Amsterdam, but on Sunday they suffered their third consecutive defeat against FC Lugano. This despite an outstanding performance by Winsley Boteli, who has scored ten goals in the ten games played so far this season.<\/p>\n
Will Lugano celebrate its fifth win in five games?<\/p>\n
Also on Thursday evening, FC Lugano will take the field, hoping to reclaim the top spot in the standings from Young Boys in their home game against Servette. While the Geneva team has just four points after four rounds, the Ticino side has won all four of its league games.<\/p>\n
A statistic that sparks the imagination: Since the 2003 league reform, eight of the ten teams that had four wins after four rounds went on to become Swiss champions. For Lugano, it would be the fourth championship title in the club\u2019s history after a 78-year wait. But there\u2019s still a long way to go.<\/p>\n
