FC Zurich and FC Sion get the 2025-26 Swiss Super League campaign underway when they lock horns at the Stadion Letzigrund on Friday. Didier Tholot’s men will head into the weekend looking to secure a third straight win over the hosts in 2025 and fly out of the blocks this season.
FC Zurich saw their 100% pre-season record come to an end in their final warm-up game as they fell to a 3-0 loss against German side Ulm at the Donaustadion last Saturday.
Before that, Mitchell van der Gaag’s side picked up five wins from their opening five friendly matches, scoring 13 goals in that time.
Zurich will look to bounce back from the loss against Ulm and fly out of the blocks this season as they aim to improve on their 2024-25 Super League campaign, where they finished seventh in the regular season table before claiming top spot in the relegation round standings.

This capped off a decent pre-season campaign for Tholot’s men, who picked up two wins and one draw while scoring eight goals and keeping two clean sheets from their five warm-up games.
Sion head into the new season off the back of a forgettable 2024-25 campaign, where they finished third in the Super League relegation round table, five points above the relegation zone.
