FC Zurich host Servette at the Letzigrund on Sunday in the Swiss Super League, as the top two sides in the division go head-to-head in an enticing clash. With 21 points from 10 games, Zurich are ahead of Servette in first position on the table by just a point, so the race is close thus far.
The FCZ can ill-afford to lose here, as that would see the Maroons leapfrog them into pole position.
Following the draw against Lugano before the international break, Ricardo Moniz's side overcame Grasshoppers 2-1 last weekend to get their campaign back on track.
Meanwhile, Servette have lost some ground lately owing to their stop-start run. Their last five games have seen them alternate between a win and a draw. It also shows their lack of consistency this season.
Trending
But on the bright side, they haven't lost a match in the Swiss Super League since the 6-0 thumping at the hands of Basel at home, over two months ago. Should the Geneva side come away victorious this Sunday, they could return to the top position once again.
