Swiss Super League returns with a fresh set of fixtures as Servette play host to Young Boys at the Stade de Genéve on Wednesday. Both sides head into the midweek clash off the back of contrasting opening-day results, with Patrick Rahmen’s men suffering a disappointing home defeat against FC Sion.
Servette got their 2024-24 Super League campaign underway on a high as they secured a 2-1 victory over Luzern in the league curtain-raiser on Sunday.
Dereck Kutesa and Steve Rouiller put Mario Frick’s men in a commanding lead at the Swissporarena before Lars Villigern halved the deficit for Luzern with a 92nd-minute strike.
Servette head into the new season off the back of an impressive 2023-24 campaign as they finished third in the Super League Championship Round and clinched the Swiss Cup title.

Elsewhere, Young Boys were denied a dream start to their Super League title defense as they suffered a 2-1 loss against Sion at the Wankdorf Stadion last weekend.
This was in keeping with their struggles in pre-season, where they won just three of their seven friendly matches while losing three and claiming one draw.
Young Boys, who have not lost back-to-back league games since March, will look to find their feet on Wednesday and get their quest for a third consecutive league title up and running.
