Servette vs Luzern Prediction 31.10.2024 | Swiss Super League

• Competition: Swiss Super League
• Date: Thursday, 31st, October 2024
• Kickoff: 19:30 UK / 20:30 CEST
• Venue: Stade de Geneve (Geneve)

Determined to keep their place at the league summit, Servette hosts Luzern on Thursday at Stade de Geneve in the 12th round of Swiss Super League clash.

Last season, Les Grenats finished strongly in third place in Switzerland’s top flight, narrowly missing out on a Champions League qualifying spot by just one point, but they overcame every obstacle in the domestic cup to finally end a two-decade-long trophy drought. However, Thomas Haberli's men have established themselves as the surprise package in the opening weeks of the 2024-25 season, as their impressive tally of 23 points has placed them at the top of the standings.

Their next league challenge will come against the Luzern side, who are aiming to sneak into the top six by the end of the regular season, having been pushed into the lower half last term but ultimately finishing as winners of the Relegation Group. The first third of the 2024-25 campaign has gone well for Mario Flick's troops, as they've managed to add a decent 18 ponts to their name from 11 top-flight appearances, which has landed them in fifth position.

Servette vs Luzern Betting Tips: SERVETTE TO WIN

Although only five points separate the two rivals ahead of Thursday's clash, we anticipate that Servette will manage to do enough to earn all three points and widen the gap at the same time. Following the October international break, Les Grenats impressively continued their title chase by first sinking Sion 3-0 before similarly dismantling Zurich 3-1, which propelled them to the top of the table. Thomas Haberli's team have no plans to slide down from the summit, and their home performance this season boosts their confidence, as they have been victorious in four of their first five in front of their home crowd. 

While the current leaders enjoyed a strong continuation of their domestic campaign following the latest two-week break, Luzern encountered difficulties, having faced back-to-back losses to Young Boys (1-2) and Yverdon (2-3), resulting in their winless run now stretching to three games. The rearguard of Die Leuchten has proven vulnerable to breakdowns, having shipped at least two goals in four of their last five top-flight contests, which gives an inspired Servette a great opportunity to capture a full reward and strengthen their position as leaders.
