Servette vs Basel Prediction and Betting Tips | 16th October 2022

Servette will play host to Basel at Stade de Genéve in the Swiss Super League on Sunday.

Servette vs Basel Preview

Servette are enjoying a flying start to their season as evidenced by five wins, three draws, and two defeats from 10 matches. They sit five points behind leaders Young Boys ahead of the upcoming matchday. Les Grenats boast 17 league titles but have been unsuccessful since 1998–99. Their campaign looks very promising this time around.

The hosts will be expecting a tough challenge from the visitors who happen to be one of their fiercest rivals in the country. Servette are also battling an injury crisis as four influential players – two defenders and two forwards - have been sidelined. The game is crucial to guarding their spot against encroachment from three other teams.

It’s too early to affirm that Basel are a shadow of themselves from last season, when they finished second behind FC Zurich, but they are fairly inconsistent. Bebbi have recorded three wins, three draws and three losses through nine outings and sit seventh with 12 points. However, they have one game in hand and may be stretched by their continental commitments.

Basel have reached the UEFA Europa Conference League group stage, leading Group E by seven points. But after two inspiring wins in the Swiss Cup and top flight, they slumped to back-to-back defeats before dusting themselves off with a draw recently. The visitors will be without four players as well due to injury.
