Sion vs Ajax: Team News and Expert Analysis
The club from Sion finished fourth in last season’s Super League of their country. This season, they started with a 2-4 defeat against Young Boys. However, they went on to win both of their next league matches, as well as in the national cup. The Amsterdam giants had a disappointing 2025/2026 campaign, only climbing to fifth place at the very end. Now, under the management of Michel, they started with a 2-0 win over Zwolle. But in the second round, they were held to a 2-2 draw at home against Heerenveen.
The Swiss side began their European run against BATE. After a draw in the nominal away leg, they managed to secure a home victory. The scenario repeated with Noah: after a 2-2 draw in Armenia, they won 2-1 on their own turf.
The Dutch side has not faced significant problems so far. Vojvodina were thoroughly beaten, 4-1 in both legs. Against Shelbourne at home, they also won confidently, 3-1. This allowed the Irish side to finish their campaign with a respectable, high-scoring 2-2 draw in the return leg.
