Bitesize Prediction: Servette vs Luzern – 31/10/24

Competition: Swiss Super League

Market: Servette win

Odds: 10/11 @ Pribet

Hoping to widen their buffer at the top of the Super League standings on Thursday night, Servette will welcome Luzern to the Stade de Geneve.

Starting with the hosts, putting in another sensational performance last weekend as they stormed their way to a 3-1 romp away at Swiss giants Zurich, Servette find themselves in the midst of a real fairytale. Leading the chase at the top of the table and really dreaming of the chance to get their hands on a first domestic crown since 1999, Thomas Haberil’s side are riding a major wave of momentum. Marking their return from October’s international break with another Super League statement as they secured a 3-0 victory at home against Sion, the Geneva-based outfit should be smelling another golden opportunity in midweek. In fact, Servette have put 23 points on the board from their first 11 top-flight appearances. It should also be noted, including a famous 2-1 win against Premier League giants Chelsea on August 29th, Haberil’s men have won all of their last three consecutive matchups at the Stade de Geneve by an aggregate score of 6-1.

As for the visitors, while Luzern might have opened up October in the midst of a welcomed flurry, the Lights have come crashing back down to earth. Showing a string of issues since returning from the fortnight interval, Mario Flick’s side are seeking some crucial stability. Suffering real heartbreak on home soil last weekend as they eventually fell to an action-packed 3-2 defeat at home against Yverdon, Wednesday’s guests have suffered back-to-back Super League defeats for the first time since opening up the new campaign. Marking their return from October’s international break with a 2-1 loss at the hands of Young Boys, Luzern have shown some real defensive struggles. In fact, Frick’s camp have shipped at least a pair of goals in four of their previous five showdowns against Super League opposition. Given what has been a huge recent gulf in class, we are backing a home victory at the Stade de Geneve on Wednesday night.
