In the final round of the Championship Group, Lugano and Sion fought a long-distance duel for third place and thus participation in next season's Conference League qualifiers.
Because Sion only drew 3-3 against Young Boys in Bern, Lugano, who had a two-point lead over the Valais side before the final round, could even have afforded to lose. However, the Ticino side showed no weakness in their last game at the venerable Cornaredo before moving to the new stadium next door and deservedly defeated Basel 4-0.
Meanwhile, Sion must hope that second-placed St. Gallen do not lose their third cup final in the last five years against lower-ranked Lausanne-Ouchy on Whit Sunday. If the team from eastern Switzerland triumphs, Sion, in fourth place in the Super League, will join Lugano in the 2nd qualifying round for the Conference League in the summer. St. Gallen, on the other hand, would qualify for the Europa League.
A week before the cup final, St. Gallen only gained limited confidence with a 1:1 draw against sensational champions Thun. The Bernese Oberland side picked up a point for the first time after four defeats since splitting the table.
