Basel vs Servette Prediction: Visitors can’t give up yet

At St. Jakob-Park, Basel will host Servette in this Week 22 fixture of the Swiss Super League. Heading into this match, Basel halted their unbeaten run against Lausanne Ouchy, while Servette suffered their third consecutive defeat against Zurich.

Basel 1893 will be aiming to replicate their recent success in their upcoming match, following their 2-0 victory in the Super League against Lausanne Ouchy. In that game, Basel enjoyed 48% possession and registered 16 attempts on goal, with 9 of them on target. Thierno Barry was the sole scorer for Basel, finding the net twice in the 30th and 69th minutes. On the other hand, Lausanne Ouchy managed 6 attempts on goal but failed to hit the target.

Despite their recent offensive prowess, Basel has struggled defensively, conceding goals in 5 of their last 6 matches, totaling 12 goals conceded. Reviewing their previous results, Basel: haven't managed a victory against Servette in their last 7 league encounters, remain undefeated in their last 2 home league matches, but have failed to secure a win in their last 3 home league matches.

Since their defeat in the last Super League match against FC Zürich, Servette and their supporters are eager for a better outcome this time around. In that game, Servette held 56% possession and managed 21 shots on goal, but only 1 found the target. Meanwhile, FC Zurich recorded 14 shots with 8 on target, resulting in Amadou Dante's goal in the 45th minute. The statistics indicate that Servette FC has struggled defensively, conceding in 5 of their last 6 games and allowing a total of 7 goals.

Looking back at their recent results, Servette: have avoided defeat against Basel in their last 3 away league matches, but have not secured a victory away from home in their last 2 league outings.

This upcoming match promises to be a showdown between two struggling teams, each seeking redemption and improved performances. The hosts are fighting hard to avoid relegation, while Servette is looking to revive their chances of winning the league after a series of disappointing performances since mid-March. Predicting the outcome is challenging, but both teams have shown vulnerability defensively lately, suggesting that goals could come from both sides.

However, given the urgency for Servette to secure a victory, they are expected to elevate their performance significantly. Therefore, despite the unpredictability of the match, I believe the away team will emerge victorious, propelled by a dedicated and determined display on the field.
