Servette FC vs FC Basel prediction, preview, team news and more | Swiss Super League 2021-22

The Swiss Super League returns with a fresh set of fixtures as Servette FC play host to FC Basel at the Stade de Genève on Thursday.

The hosts head into the game without a victory in each of their last five outings, while the Bebbi will be looking to snap their three-game winless run.

Servette FC ended their losing streak last Wednesday when they came from behind twice to salvage a 2-2 draw against FC Lugano.

Prior to that, they lost four consecutive league games, scoring once and shipping 10 goals in that time.

With 42 points from 34 games, Servette are currently sixth in the Swiss Super League table, six points above FC Luzern in the relegation zone with two games to go.

Meanwhile, FC Basel failed to find their feet last time out as they could only salvage a 1-1 draw with 10-man Grasshopper Zurich.

They have now failed to win any of their last four outings, picking up two draws and losing twice since a 3-0 win at FC Luzern on April 24.

Basel have already secured a place in next season’s Conference League as they sit second in the league standings, with 58 points from 34 games.
