Servette vs Basel Prediction 25.05.2023

• Competition: Switzerland - Super League
• Date: Thursday, 25th, May 2023
• Kickoff: 19:30 UK / 20.30 CEST
• Venue: Stade de Geneve (Geneva)

Servette is definitely playing its best season since returning to the elite tier of Swiss football. They may not have managed to remain an equal candidate to the inexorable Young Boys in the fight for the title, but they are well on their way to book a ticket together with him for the qualification of the strongest European competition - the UEFA Champions League. To maintain second position, they will need to collect at least four points in the remaining two rounds of the season.

Basel, which since the beginning of the new 21st century has been the champion of Switzerland the most times, is playing by far the worst season in the previous two decades. Not only will the RotBlau stay without a title for the sixth year in a row, but they could end the season empty-handed - without a place in European competitions, to be exact. In one word - Horror! They will really have a difficult task to get hold of European football, since they are four steps behind the fourth-placed Luzern.

It is a very interesting data that all three meetings between these rivals this season ended without a winner. On St. Jakob-Park was 1-1 and 2-2, while the sides shared the spoils without goals in Geneva. Servette may wear the epithet of favorites and have home advantage, but beating Basel (even when they are in crisis) will be anything but an easy task.

First of all, it should be pointed out that the sharing of points has been a very common occurrence in their recent clashes, as a draw has been seen in five of the last six duels. Not to mention that Servette last beat Basel back on March 6, 2021. For this reason, we believe that it is wisest to shoot goals and it on both sides.

Coach Alain Geiger's team is bursting with confidence. No one, not even the champion Young Boys, managed to collect more points than them in the last five league challenges - 13 out of a possible 15. At the same time, we notice that they sharpened their aiming devices well before the duel with Basel, scoring 2+ goals in seven of the last 10.

Meanwhile, RotBlau is very effective when it comes to the attacking segment. They really have no problem scoring against much stronger teams than Servette. They proved their attacking power in the UEFA Conference League, where they easily shook the nets of rivals - 3x Fiorentina, 4x OGC Nice, 5x Slovan Bratislava, etc.

However, Basel's defense this season has been anything but strong. They very easily allow their rivals to comfortably walk around their goal, they give them plenty of opportunities to score, so it's no wonder that the results were missing. In the previous 20 competitive challenges, their defense capitulated an incredible 18 times.

Heiko Vogel and his chosen will, given that they have finished participating in the semi-finals of the youngest UEFA competition (eliminated by Fiorentina with 3-4), throw all their cards at the Swiss championship in the desire to sneak among the first four. Since Servette enters this match with competitive ambitions, we expect a dynamic 90 minutes, where both teams should find a way to the goal.
