This Sunday, December 1 at 4:30 p.m., Servette welcomes Lugano to the Stade de Genève for a key Super League meeting. In search of redemption after several poor performances, Thomas Häberli’s men want to end a series of four games without a victory and revive their momentum before a series of decisive matches.
The performance of the last match
Servette FC is going through a complicated period, marked by a poor series in the league. The Grenat have not tasted victory since their success against FC Zürich in October. Last week, they lost 3-1 to Basel in a match where Basel individuals, notably Xherdan Shaqiri, made the difference.
During their last clash against FCL, the Servettians also lost with a frustrating score of 3-1 at Cornaredo. This setback revealed defensive weaknesses and a lack of offensive efficiency. This Sunday’s meeting represents an opportunity for the Garnets to show their ability to bounce back and stay in the race for places of honor.
The form of the opponent
FC Lugano arrives in Geneva full of confidence. Current runners-up in the Super League, tied on points with Basel, the Ticinese stand out for their consistency in the championship and their performances on the European scene. Last Thursday, they signed a convincing victory in the Conference League against La Gantoise (3-1).
Mattia Croci-Torti’s men rely on a solid defense and well-oiled team play. In attack, Ignacio Aliseda, with six goals this season, represents a permanent threat. The Geneva defense will also have to remain vigilant against Renato Steffen, the Ticino playing master, capable of dictating the tempo and delivering decisive passes.
The Servettian(s) to follow
To reverse the trend, the SFC will have to rely on its executives. Derek Kutesa, who has often been the detonator of the Servettian attack, will have the mission of converting the chances into goals. His explosiveness and creativity will be essential to disrupt the opposing defense.
In the middle, Timothé Cognat and Miroslav Stevanović will have to orchestrate the game and find solutions to the Lugan pressure. Their vision and technique could be the keys to unlocking the match.
Servette FC must absolutely win against an opponent who did not succeed in the last confrontation. The issue goes beyond the three points: it is a question of recovery and pride. Be there in large numbers this Sunday at 4:30 p.m. to support Servette FC and push the team towards a crucial victory against FC Lugano
Come on Servette!
