Servette vs Basel Prediction: League leaders will not lose

Stade de Genève will host the Swiss Super League encounter between Servette and Basel. The team's last meeting ended in a 3-1 win for Basel. How will this game unfold? Below, I preview this game and make predictions.

Servette

Servette's last league game was against Sion and they could only take a point. In a game that ended 3-3, goals from Alexis Antunes, Miroslav Stevanovic and Enzo Crivelli were enough to see this team avoid a defeat. However, Servette have settled for a draw in each of their last four games, two against St. Gallen, Yverdon and Grasshoppers. This season, the home side has 33 points from 22 matches, which sees them sit 4th. In those games, they scored 34 goals and conceded 32.

Basel

Basel showed character against Luzern midweek, securing a 2-1 win at St. Jakob-Park. In that encounter, Xherdan Shaqiri's brace was enough to see this team secure maximum points. In the meantime, Basel have a win run of three matches, defeating Zurich and Sion. Heading into this game, Basel have not lost their last six matches, winning five. This season, Basel have the most points accumulated after 22 matches, which sees them sit at the top of the standings. In those games, Basel scored 49 goals and conceded 23.
