Form Guide — Last 5
FC Sion
Sion’s last five league results read D‑W‑D‑W, including a 4‑0 home win over Bate Borisov and a 2‑1 home victory against FC Noah. Those wins, especially the clean‑sheet 4‑0, show they can dominate at home, supporting the view that they will find the net against Ajax.
Ajax
Ajax have been in striking form with three consecutive wins before a draw, highlighted by back‑to‑back 4‑1 away and home wins over Vojvodina and a 3‑1 home win versus Shelbourne. Their ability to score heavily on the road underpins the expectation that they will also score at Sion.
