Servette v Lucerne

Servette vs Luzern Preview

Swiss Super League leaders Servette bring a six-game unbeaten sequence into this upcoming encounter at their Stade de Genève on Thursday night following an impressive 3-1 win away from home at Zurich, while Luzern slipped to a second defeat on the trot in the Swiss Super League after slipping to a 3-2 loss at home to Yverdon Sport on the weekend.

Servette had previously succumbed to back-to-back defeats at the hands of Lugano and Basel respectively but the hosts have staged a recovery in subsequent weeks as the hosts have registered four wins along with two draws within their subsequent six matches overall in the domestic top flight.

Victories gained over Winterthur, Lausanne-Sport, Sion and Zurich respectively along with picking up useful points along the way with stalemates against Grasshoppers and St Gallen will give Thomas Häberli's side plenty of confidence and belief that they can extend their unbeaten run here on Thursday night.

The wider picture shows Servette have slipped to just these two previous losses in their last 12 league matches in the Swiss top flight and having also collected eight wins within this period as well, the hosts look favourites to pick up the all-important three points at their Stade de Genève.

Luzern have dropped down the Swiss Super League table to fifth spot after being handed back-to-back losses in the domestic top flight by Young Boys and Yverdon Sport in 2-1 and 3-2 losses respectively, and the visitors face a tough task of avoiding a third league defeat on the trot when they travel to the Stade de Genève to take on the league leaders.

The visitors had previously put together a solid and impressive eight-game unbeaten run in the Swiss top flight which consisted of picking up five wins along with being involved in three stalemates as well.

Two of Luzern's six wins have been picked up on their travels at Lugano and St Gallen but although the visitors had previously produced a string of consistent results overall, Mario Frick's side have struggled for consistency on their travels of late.

Indeed, the wider picture shows Luzern have found league wins hard to come by on the road in the Swiss Super League as the visitors have managed to capture just five wins within their previous 21 away games overall, whilst being dealt 10 defeats in the process as well.

In addition, Luzern have managed to keep just a total of three clean sheets in these previous 21 outings on the road.

Servette v Luzern Verdict
