The situation in Xamax is a bit chaotic one.
After the first two consecutive defeats, new foreign owner of the team made a big reshuffle of the team sacking keeper Galatto and striker Almares and the entire technical staff (trainer, keeper's trainer and assistant trainer.
Then, during the week, also management was removed, and also midfielder Byen should be sacked.
The target for the owners - and the consequent acquisitions - was to fight for title this year.
Of course, after sacking some regular and entire technical staff, works must restart;
And for this match they are with technical director on the bench while, apart players sacked, they are without four players, among them new keeper acquired from Borussia Gladbach.
On the other front, Sion, in spite to be deprived of his new acqusitions for Swiss Federation's decison, won first match at home against Zurich and loss last round against Young Boys away, but played very good.
I don't know if new acquisition for away team will be available for this match; they are also without two regulars of last year, midfielder Yoda and striker Mrdja (author of 8 goals last season), but with the strange situation in home team they have a great advantage to win this match
