Zurich vs Servette

Switzerland Super League toppers Zurich will be looking to maintain their eye-catching form when they take on Servette at the Letzigrund Stadion.

Zurich enjoyed a decent warm-up campaign in January, going unbeaten in all three friendlies (W1, D2) as they look to pick up where they left off in 2021. Indeed, heading into the winter break, Zurich racked up an impressive six Switzerland Super League victories in a row, prevailing by a 2+ goal margin in each of the last three. Sitting seven points above second-placed Basel, Andre Breitenreiter’s men look to be marching towards their first top-flight title since 2008/09, with their home form speaking volumes of their outstanding domestic campaign. In fact, the hosts are the only side in Switzerland’s top-flight football yet to lose a single league match on home turf this season (W7, D2), scoring a league-high 25 goals in the process.

In the meantime, Servette enjoyed a noticeable upturn in form down the final stretch of 2021, going from five consecutive Switzerland Super League defeats to putting together five league matches without losing (W4, D1). Interestingly, five (55.56%) of their nine games won/lost in that 11-fixture sequence yielded an identical 2-1 scoreline, highlighting the potential for a high-scoring contest. Servette’s confidence about staging an upset here could be high. They are unbeaten in their last three league visits to Zurich (W1, D2) and are currently enjoying a three-game winning streak away from home in the Switzerland Super League. But conceding first could hinder those hopes, with ‘Les Grenats’ losing eight out of nine top-flight fixtures when falling behind this term (W1).
