The Super League season is still fresh and sports bettors should be cautious. This meeting between Servette and Zürich promises to be an interesting one.

Both teams should be fairly well rested for this game, as they have had some quiet days to prepare. Hopefully this will translate into lots of action on the pitch.

Servette form and stats

OK but not perfect. That could be the conclusion for Servette's two home games in the Super League so far this season, having collected 4 points here at Stade de Genève.

Times are rough for the home team, having gone 193 minutes without scoring a league goal. A. Schalk was the last player to find the net.

Servette drew their last game, also a home match. Young Boys (placed 1st) was the opponent, 0-0 the score. Heartbreak before that as Servette lost 0-1 at St. Gallen's place.

The Servette goalkeeper Jeremy Frick was crucial in the match against Young Boys last time out, making seven saves.

Early season league goal statistics from Servette's 2 home games: 1 goal, 0 conceded.

Zürich form and stats

Zürich, who have the most scored goals (5) away in Super League, are doing rather OK so far in their away games in the Super League, having played 3 games and collected 3 points (1 win, 0 draws and 2 losses).

Two travels in a row for Zürich, whose manager L. Magnin could celebrate last time after the Super League win against Vaduz. A 0-4 defeat away at Lausanne Sport before that.

A quick return to home after this game, as Zürich are hosting Basel in the Super League only four days away.

Zürich are not goal shy away from home in the league, finding the net 5 times in 3 away games so far. The Zürich manager L. Magnin has some worries about the defense as 7 goals have been conceded in these travels.

Head 2 Head

Head-2-head stats last ten meetings: three - one - six (Servette wins - draws - Zürich wins). As for goals, seven matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), three had two or less.
