The first of two encounters in the Champions League 2nd Qualifying Round, as the hometeam Servette will try to edge Genk in their own ballpark.

Servette have less rest than Genk in this fixture, as the hosts were involved in a Super League game only three days ago. At least it's nice to return home after that away game at Grasshopper.

Servette form and stats

Servette are returning here after visiting Grasshopper and winning with a 3-1 scoreline. Crivelli and Bedia (2) scored the goal(s). Attacking player Bedia bested all teammates in that match and was awarded a match rating of 9.04 out of 10. Bedia scored two goals, hit two key passes and dribled past the opponent 2 of 2 times.

A strong away win before that one, visiting Luzern and winning 1-0.
