Football Bet of the Day: Bank on goals in Sion

Sion v Luzern
Sunday 15:00

Malaga 3 Getafe 2 at La Rosaleda last night. The Anchovies came up smelling of roses and we enter March feeling pretty fragrant too.

Today we've woken up more excited about Switzerland than we have on perhaps any other day of the last three decades or so.

And it's all because of the prices on this afternoon's game at Stade Tourbillon.

That's where Sion have seen five of their last seven home matches go Over 2.5 Goals, including each of the most recent three. In fact, those five games also all went Over 3.5 Goals but the long odds on that happening again put it slightly outside this column's remit.

The Over 2.5 price is plenty juicy enough already, what with Sion only failing to score against sides now in the 10-team Super League's top four.

The hosts have managed a single clean sheet in seven attempts themselves and look vulnerable against fellow relegation strugglers Luzern, who have scored in 8/9 on the road (twice or more in 5/7).

Dipping back into last season 13 of Luzern's last 15 away matches have delivered Over 2.5 Goals and, this one being a six pointer, doesn't mean it has to be a stinker.

Which means something for Switzerland to be proud of. Finally.
