This Saturday, October 5 (4 p.m.), Servette FC Chênois Féminin travels to the pitch of FC Luzern Frauen for the round of 16 of the Swiss Cup.
The performance of the last match
The Genevans are coming out of a difficult week. After a heavy defeat against AS Roma in the Champions League (2-7), they lost 1-2 against FC Zürich. Despite a lead at half-time, the players from the city of Calvin conceded two goals in three minutes after returning from the locker room, one from a corner and the other from a poorly cleared cross.
The form of the opponent
Lucerne is going through a complicated period, finding itself in penultimate place in the championship with only one victory this season. However, the Lucernoises made a strong impression by winning 8-0 in the first round of the Swiss Cup against SC Blueslavia (2nd women’s league). Despite their 2-0 defeat against the Servettians two weeks ago, their success against the leader Saint-Gall shows that they can surprise.
The player to be wary of
Nathalie Pellier, a young 19-year-old striker, scored her first goal this weekend in the 1-5 loss against YB. Arrival this summer from FC Basel to gain playing time, his speed and agility make him an offensive threat not to be underestimated.
The Servettian to follow
Imène El Ghazouani, scorer and player of the match against Zürich, scored her second goal in garnet colors. The Moroccan international, who arrived this summer from FC Sion, scored 4 goals in 5 matches during the play-offs for promotion.
The match will be played at 4 p.m. at Sportanlagen Allmend in Lucerne!
