Sion and Noah meet again at the Tourbillon for the second leg of their UEFA Conference League Third Qualifying Round tie. The first leg in the same round ended 2-2, which means Sion must win at home to advance, while Noah only need a draw to go through on aggregate. That dynamic shapes everything about how this match will be played. Sion will press forward from the first whistle; Noah will be perfectly content sitting deep and absorbing pressure.
One player to watch closely is Winsley Boteli Mokango, who has been Sion’s most dangerous attacker across the last five matches with five goals and three assists. On the other side, Gor Manvelyan has quietly been Noah’s most productive midfielder, contributing three goals and an assist in four appearances, a return that belies Noah’s generally low-scoring output.
A hot stat worth flagging: Sion have taken 103 total shots across their last five matches compared to Noah’s 49. That 2-to-1 shot ratio tells you a lot about the territorial dominance Sion can impose, and it reinforces why they are heavy favorites on home soil.

Sion vs Noah Prediction
The aggregate situation makes Sion’s path clear: they need a win. At home, with Boteli Mokango in form and a squad that has outscored opponents 16-7 across their last five games, we think Sion win this match. The best value bet here is a Sion win on the moneyline, available around 1.44-1.49 depending on the bookmaker. That reflects the 63% implied probability the market assigns to Sion, and given the home advantage, the second-leg pressure dynamic, and the shot volume Sion generate, that price is fair.
Sion average a high foul count across recent matches (58 fouls in five games), which suggests an aggressive, physical style. They also picked up 10 yellow cards in that same span and two red cards, so discipline is a concern if the match gets tight and frustration builds. Noah, by contrast, are a much cleaner side with only 2 yellow cards and 32 fouls in five matches. Their disciplined shape and low foul rate suggest they will be hard to break down, but their limited pass volume (994 passes vs. Sion’s 2,790) confirms they park defensively and rely on transitions. Sion’s corner count (27 in five games vs. Noah’s 19) points toward set-piece pressure being a significant factor.

Team Analysis
Sion have been in strong domestic form heading into this second leg. They beat Vaduz 3-2 in their most recent outing, a result that showed both their attacking quality and a slight vulnerability at the back. Before that, they drew 2-2 with Noah in the first leg, then recorded a 3-0 win over Luzern and a dominant 4-0 victory against BATE. The only real blemish was a 2-4 loss to Young Boys, a side ranked far higher. Across the last 30 days, Sion have won five of eight matches with just one defeat. Their recent form sequence shows a consistent pattern of wins broken up by the occasional draw, and they head into this match with genuine momentum.
Noah arrive at the Tourbillon in their own solid shape. Their most recent result was a 4-3 win over Shirak Gyumri, a high-scoring affair that showed they can score when needed. Before that came the first-leg draw here, a 3-0 win over Syunik, and back-to-back results against Zimbru Chisinau (2-1 win and 1-1 draw). Noah are unbeaten in their last seven matches, winning five and drawing two. That unbeaten run is impressive, but the quality of opposition has generally been modest, and this is their toughest away test of the campaign.

Pre-game Odds and Win Probability: Sion the Favourite
- Moneyline Sion 1.44 | Noah 6.00
- Draw 4.33
- Over/Under Over 2.5 – available around 1.80 | Under 2.5 – around 2.00
- BTTS (both teams to score) Yes – around 1.90 | No – around 1.90
The moneyline odds on Sion cluster tightly between 1.40 and 1.49 across bookmakers, with Pinnacle sitting at 1.43 and Bovada slightly more generous at 1.49. Noah’s price ranges from 5.75 to 6.25, reflecting just how little the market expects them to win outright. The draw at 3.80-4.50 is interesting because a draw would actually send Noah through on aggregate, meaning those odds may be slightly undervaluing that outcome from a tactical standpoint. Honestly, the Sion win is still the play, but the draw market deserves a second look given Noah’s incentive to protect the 2-2 result.

Possible Starting Lineups
Sion Possible Starting Eleven
- GK: Anthony Racioppi
- DF: Numa Lavanchy, Jan Kronig, Noé Sow, Marquinhos Cipriano
- MF: Ali Kabacalman, Baltazar Costa Rodrigues de Oliveira, Donat Rrudhani, Fodé Sylla
- FW: Winsley Boteli Mokango, Ylyas Chouaref
Sion’s likely shape is a 4-1-4-1 or a compact 4-2-3-1 depending on how Tholot reads the second-leg pressure. Anthony Racioppi takes the gloves, with a back four of Lavanchy, Kronig, Sow, and Cipriano providing the defensive base. Kabacalman and Baltazar screen from midfield, while Rrudhani and Sylla provide energy and creativity higher up. Boteli Mokango leads the attack and is the clear danger man with five goals in five games. Chouaref offers pace and direct running to stretch Noah’s defensive block.
Noah Possible Starting Eleven
- GK: TBC
- DF: Sergey Muradyan, Hovhannes Hambardzumyan, Hélder Ferreira
- MF: Gustavo Sangare, Gor Manvelyan
- FW: TBC
Noah’s available player data covers only six named individuals across their last five matches. Coach Sandro Perkovic typically deploys a 4-2-3-1 structure. Hélder Ferreira has been genuinely productive from a defensive role, scoring two goals and contributing two assists in four appearances, making him a set-piece threat. Gor Manvelyan is the engine in midfield with three goals in four games. The full lineup beyond these players is not confirmed, but expect Noah to field a disciplined low block designed to protect the aggregate draw.

TipsGG Match Prediction
We think Sion win this match. The aggregate situation forces them to attack, and their home record combined with a shot volume that dwarfs Noah’s gives them a clear edge. Boteli Mokango is in the kind of form that makes life very uncomfortable for visiting defenses, and Sion’s set-piece threat via corners adds another dimension Noah will struggle to contain.
Noah’s disciplined defensive record is real. Their low foul count and yellow card tally suggest they will be organized and hard to break down early. A tight first half is possible. But Sion’s attacking output across their last five matches, 16 goals and 103 shots, is hard to ignore over 90 minutes. We also lean toward both teams scoring, given Noah showed in the 4-3 win over Shirak and the 2-2 first leg that they carry a threat on the break even against stronger opposition.
Our primary prediction is a Sion win. The “Sion to score in both halves” market is our hot tip, given the pressure they will apply throughout and Noah’s tendency to concede while also finding the net themselves.
