Zurich vs Servette Prediction: The home team can’t afford to drop points

On Saturday, in the 2023–24 Swiss Super League, Zurich will take on Servette at the Letzigrund. The goal for Zurich is to strengthen their hold on first place in the standings, while the visitors will hope to close the top spot gap with a win.

After beating AC Bellinzona 0-1 in the Swiss Cup last time out, Zurich will aim to pick up right where they left off and carry that momentum into this match. Jonathan Okita was the sole player from Zurich to find the back of the net in the 93rd minute. In the previous six matches that Bo Henriksen's Zurich have participated in, they have been rewarded for their shots on goal a combined total of 11 times, which results in an average number of goals scored per game that is equal to 1.83. When looking at their past results, it can be seen that Zurich have not been victorious over Servette in any of their three previous league meetings. In addition, the host team has not suffered a defeat in any of their previous six league matches played at home.

In the Swiss Cup match that immediately before this one, Servette FC and Stade Lausanne-Ouchy played to a 1-1 draw. Chris Bedia was the lone player from Servette to score, and he did it in the 73rd minute. After a penalty shootout that ended 4-1, Servette emerged victorious. Servette, coached by René Weiler, have scored a total of 8 goals over the course of their most recent six matches, giving them an average of 1.33 goals scored per game. According to their historical performance, Servette has not been successful versus Zurich when competing away from their normal arena in any of the league's four most recent encounters.

When we look at these two teams, we believe that Servette should have enough to score against this Zurich team, but it's possible that it won't be nearly enough to prevent a loss. We anticipate that it will be a very competitive match that will end with Zurich coming out on top after the whole 90 minutes.
