Winterthur vs Servette Prediction

Winterthur are seeking to win a maiden Swiss Cup crown. Their loss to Young Boys might have dented their confidence a bit, with Patrick Rahmen's side having not lost for nearly three months.

Servette, meanwhile, were in a shock title race earlier in the season, as they sought to win an 18th league crown and first since 1999. However, a five-game winless run, losing four, put paid to their lofty aspirations.

Rene Weiler's side will turn their focus to their quest for a first cup title since 2001. Their victory last weekend was their first for over a month and was the perfect tonic for their semifinal.

Winterthur have the advantage of playing this game at home, but Servette should claim a narrow victory and also keep a clean sheet.

Prediction: Winterthur 0-1 Servette
