Servette vs Young Boys Prediction: Tough one for the two sides in this fixture

In an early fixture, Servette will play Young Boys in a round 5 encounter of the Swiss Super League at the Stade de Genève in Geneva. Young Boys won the last meeting of this fixture and will head here hoping for a win. Can Servette make it two wins in two games this season?

Servette started their season with a win and will feel confident they can get things right here. In the game against Luzern, Servette took the lead just four minutes into kickoff, with Dereck Kutesa scoring his side's first goal of the season. However, Servette got their second of the day in the 58th minute, with Steve Rouiller scoring this time to cement their lead. However, it was not until the additional minutes of the game that Luzern got one back as a consolation. Going into this game, Servette face a tough Young Boys side they have defeated just once in their last five meetings and are seated 4th in the league standings. 

Young Boys will be disappointed with how things went in their opening game of the season. Against a newly promoted Sion team, Young Boys struggled but it could be attributed to the red card received by Jaouen Hadjem. In the 16th minute of the game, Young Boys got their first goal through Silvere Ganvoula, who took advantage of Joel Monteiro's pass. However, Sion leveled the scores before the break, but a 66th-minute strike by Ylyas Chouaref handed Young Boys a defeat. Heading into this game, Young Boys will feel confident they can get things right, looking at their record against Servette in the past. 

Looking at the two teams prior meetings to this with reference to the last 10 matches, Servette won three encounters, while Young Boys won five. However, two other encounters ended in draws, with scores ending 1-1 and 0-0. 

This is a tight one to predict looking at how the opener of both teams ended. However, I expect the two teams to go all out for a win, but despite Servette having the better chance, I still believe that Young Boys have the quality to win. This is going to be competitive, but this game should end with many goals, with Young Boys eking here.
