Servette have put together a sequence of 4 consecutive matches without defeat (0-4-0) when facing Basel.

It's not the first time these sides meet on the pitch this season, as the statistics show this recent game: Basel - Servette 2-2. The match official showed his red card when these clubs last faced each other, and the criminal was Frei (Basel). The games between these sides have had a tendency to be ill-tempered, having seen 5 sending-offs from the last ten duels.
