The action continues in round 23 of the Swiss Super League as Servette and Basel go head-to-head at the Stade de Geneve on Sunday. Fabio Celestini’s men head into the weekend on a run of three back-to-back victories over the hosts and will be looking to extend their dominance in this fixture.
Servette needed a 98th-minute penalty from Enzo Crivelli to salvage a 3-3 draw against FC Sion in their Super League clash at the Stade Tourbillon on Tuesday.
Thomas Haberli’s side have played out four consecutive stalemates and have failed to win their last six league outings, claiming five draws and losing once since a 3-0 victory over Lugano on December 1.
Servette have picked up 33 points from their 22 Super League games so far to sit fourth in the standings, level on points with fifth-placed FC Zurich.
Meanwhile, Basel continued to push for the 2024-25 Super League crown as they secured a 2-1 victory over 10-man Luzern at the St. Jakob-Park last Thursday.
Celestini’s men have won three straight games and are unbeaten in their last six outings across all competitions, claiming five wins and one draw since the turn of the year.
This fine run of results has seen Basel surge to the top of the Super League table with 40 points from 22 games, two points above second-placed Lugano.
