BSC Young Boys and Sion will battle for three points in a Swiss Super League matchday 24 fixture on Saturday (March 11).
The hosts are coming off a 1-1 draw at Winterthur in a game between two sides at opposite ends of the standings last weekend. Elia Meschack put Young Boys ahead in the 21st minute before Roman Buess stepped off the bench and equalised with his first touch to ensure a share of the spoils.
Sion, meanwhile, also shared the spoils in a 1-1 draw against Lugano at home. Goals in either half from Ousmane Doumbia and Giovanni Sio ensured parity. The draw left them in ninth spot, having garnered 23 points from as many games.
They're ahead of bottom-placed Winterthur on goal difference. Young Boys lead the way at the summit, having garnered 48 points from 23 games, and have a 13-point cushion over second-placed Servette.
