Servette will host Basel at the Stade de Geneve on Thursday in the penultimate round of the 2022-23 Swiss Super League campaign.
The home team are enjoying a good run of results at the moment and are now looking to clinch a UEFA Champions League playoff spot. They beat Winterthur 1-0 in their last game, with team top scorer Chris Bedia scoring the sole goal of the game early after the restart.
Basel, meanwhile, have struggled to impress this season and look set to miss out on continental football next season. They were knocked out of the UEFA Europa Conference League semifinals last week after losing 4-3 on aggregate to Fiorentina before playing out a 1-1 draw against Luzano in their league game on Sunday.
The visitors sit fifth in the league table with 43 points picked up so far. Failure to win on Thursday could mark the end of their European ambitions.
