Servette vs Basel Prediction: The home team to win this

Stade de Genève will play host to the Swiss Super League match between Servette and Basel that is part of round 14 of the competition. In the following, I look at the preview of the match and provide possibilities for betting. 

Servette - the host will be strong again

Following their 2-1 victory over Sheriff Tiraspol in the Europa League, Servette will be hoping to add another victory to their record. During that match, Servette held 63% of the possession and had 25 shots on goal, with 9 of those shots finding their intended target. Both Steve Rouiller and Chris Bedia scored goals for Servette in the second half of their match. Steve Rouiller scored in the 84th minute, and Chris Bedia scored in the 92nd minute. At the other end of the field, Sheriff Tiraspol had six shots on goal, but only one of them was on target. In five of the most recent six matches that Servette has been a part of, the average number of goals scored was less than three. Regarding goals scored during this period, the goals scored by Servette totaled 9, while the goals scored by the other teams came to a total of 5. When we take a look at their historical performance, we see that Servette have gone their last six matches in the league without suffering a loss to Basel. In addition, the host club has not been defeated in any of their previous three league matches played at home.

Basel - can the visitors build on their last win?

In their most recent outing, Basel defeated Yverdon-Sports by a score of 2-1 in the Super League. They will enter this game riding that momentum. During that match, Basel had 42% possession and 17 shots on goal, with 5 of those shots hitting the target. Both Mohamed Drager in the 26th minute and Gabriel Sigua in the 85th minute scored for Basel in the match. On the other hand, Yverdon-Sport had 11 shots on goal, with only two of them hitting the target. Boris Céspedes was the one who put the ball in the back of the net for FC Yverdon-Sports in the 73rd minute. It is important to point out that Basel have only managed to score three goals in their previous six matches, which is a dismal result for them. During those encounters, Basel have also been subjected to a total of 11 goals scored against them by their opponents.

Expert Betting Tips

I believe that Servette will be able to maintain control for extended stretches of time and will be able to capitalize on some of the opportunities that they generate. On the other hand, Basel could have trouble scoring a goal of their own, but I still anticipate them doing it at some point during the match. As a result, you should anticipate that Servette will win this contest by a score of 3-1.
