Chelsea will be looking to register a third straight win in all competitions when they face Servette in Switzerland on Thursday night in the return leg of the Conference League Playoffs.
Servette had a great start to the 2024-25 season, beating the likes of Lucerne, Young Boys and Yverdon. The hosts also scored eight goals in the process but things have gone downhill in recent weeks. They go into this week's game having won just one of their last six matches, losing four and drawing one.
Chelsea's poor run of form that saw them win just one of their six pre-season friendlies, continued on the opening day of the new Premier League season when the Blues lost 2:0 to Champions Man City at the Bridge. Enzo Maresca's men bounced back well with a 2-0 win over Servette in the first leg of Thursday's Conference League clash and a 6-2 thrashing of Wolves in the league last weekend.
Servette vs. Chelsea betting tips: Over 2.5 goals
Servette have done nothing to be proud of defensively this season. The Swiss side have kept just one clean sheet in their nine games so far this season, shipping an average of two goals per game.
Chelsea showed how good they can be offensively in their win over Wolves last weekend. The Blues boast eight goals from their last two games alone, and just three of their last nine matches produced less than 2.5 goals.
- Best Tip: Over 2.5 goals

Servette team news
Victory Beniangba will be unavailable to Servette head coach Thomas Häberli on Thursday due to injury.
Beniangba is nursing a muscle injury that has seen him missed the last six games, but the forward is the hosts' only injury concern ahead of the visit of Premier League side Chelsea this week.

Chelsea team news
Reece James is yet to feature this season due to a hamstring injury and Thursday's game will come too soon for the captain.
Moisés Caicedo is also set to miss out for the Blues this week after suffering an injury in the 6:2 thrashing of Wolves last weekend.
Having found the back of the net three times in that game, Noni Madueke will hope to keep his place in the XI, but head coach Enzo Maresca has many options on the bench, including new signing João Félix.
