It's interesting to look at how Servette have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found five games) they have won two times, drawn two and lost one.

The Servette fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 13 in 10 matches. Servette are not conceding a lot of goals here at Stade de Genève in the league, averaging less than one per game. The total is 6 from 10 matches.

As you can see from the result above, the defeat against Basel was particularly ugly (0-4). The humiliation is still top of mind.
