Thun vs Servette Prediction & Betting tips
Four game days are still to be completed in the Swiss Super League. In the fight for the championship, the defending champion from Bern has again been in the lead since the weekend. The Young Boys pushed past Sankt Gallen thanks to a 5-0 win in Zurich, who surprisingly lost 1: 2 against FC Thun.
On Wednesday evening, Thun is now dealing with Servette Geneva. The odds of the best bookmakers imply a balanced duel at eye level with slight advantages for the guests, who are in fourth place in the ranking and have had 14 points more on the credit side than the red-whites so far this season.
We still trust Marc Schneider’s team to win at home. This assessment is based in particular on the fact that the eighth-place winner was able to win all four matches in their own stadium after the restart. In general, seven points jumped out of the last three games, which is why the Bernese Oberlanders are now more positive in the fight for relegation.
Because, moreover, the Genevans are still waiting for their first away win after the forced break and only won one of the new matches after the resumption of play, the prediction of the home team’s threesome between Thun and Servette Geneva is quite interesting. Alternatively, a potential bet on at least three goals in the Swiss Baller League also contains attractive value.
Thun:
Almost exactly a year ago, FC Thun was still able to compete for the Europa League after finishing fourth in the final accounts of the 2018/19 season, but was missed after two defeats against Spartak Moscow. Twelve months later, the red and whites, with Marc Schneider still sitting on the coaching bench, are worried about staying in the Swiss Super League.
In eighth place, the Bernese Oberlanders are currently only three points ahead of the relegation place and their five point cushion over the bottom. The fact that the 2019 cup finalist is now in pole position when it comes to securing a place in the top national division is thanks to the recent results that show a clear upward trend.
FC got a solid seven points from the past three matches and beat the title aspirant Sankt Gallen 2-1 at home last weekend. With this, the Schneider-Elf also expanded the impressive home series after the restart. The last four matches in the Stockhorn Arena were all won, including against the Young Boys from Bern or FC Zurich.
In view of the return of home strength and the fact that the cellar child still desperately needs every meter in the relegation battle, it is definitely advisable to consider the tip for another home win between Thun and Servette Geneva. Anyone who has not lost at home since December 8th and is ranked eighth in terms of quality, should definitely have what it takes to put a rising star at home.
Servette Geneva:
The rising star from Geneva has been playing a great season so far. Four game days before the end, the garnets, which can look back on a very successful history, still have the return to international business in their own hands. Coach Geiger’s team currently ranks fourth with a four-point lead over fifth. In addition, the 17-time Swiss champion has by far the best goal difference compared to the direct competitors.
In order to finally fix the ticket for Europe, an increase abroad is required. The last away win was on January 25th. So far there have only been four threes in the distance. Six of the only eight defeats in total were conceded by the Geneva in opposing stadiums.
What also speaks for the higher odds on the hosts in the game Thun against Servette Geneva on Wednesday evening is the fact that the Geiger team has long since found their top form after the restart. The grenades only won one of their nine games and only conceded once. In the most recent three matches, there have been seven goals conceded.
The inconsistent state of affairs in the past few weeks combined with the weakness in the opposing stadiums are reasons enough to align the forecast between Thun and Servette Geneva in the direction of the red and whites, which are poorly placed in the tableau.
To make matters worse, from the guests’ point of view, numerous actors will be injured. Especially in the back four, the 59-year-old coach Geiger has to improvise heavily. Key player Cognat on the six will not be available due to a suspension.
