Wil:
The past season was not very successful for the Eastern Swiss. In the end, FC Wil landed in seventh place with 21 points ahead of the relegation zone. Thus, the main goal of league preservation was achieved. After a Turkish investor intervened in Wil in 2015, the traditional club changed fundamentally. In the following two seasons, the East Swiss did not succeed in the rise, despite the new million. After financial problems at the beginning of 2017 – the wages of the players were no longer paid – the investors went out again and the FC Wil was facing bankruptcy. The former club leadership took over again the management and organized the club again. Also this season is the most important goal of FC Wils remaining in the Challenge League. After all, the Wiler since their descent from 2004 always represented in the second highest Swiss league.
The results in preparation for the new season were very substantial. Against Super League teams were narrow defeats retracted and against the Grasshoppers it even enough for a draw. Also against Galatasaray Istanbul conceded the East Swiss only a 0-1 defeat. In the starting game of the Challenge League against Winterthur the Wiler succeeded with 2: 0. New signing Carlos Silvio – the striker moved in the summer from FC Winterthur to the Eastern Switzerland – scored a double.
Servette:
Servette Geneva has – like many soccer teams from western Switzerland – problematic years behind it. 2012 was the club from the Geneva suburb Servette bankruptcy and was rescued by the Canadian Hugh Quennec. He was already involved in the ice hockey club Servette Geneva. In the season 2012/13 it was no longer enough for the league and the Geneva had to descend for the first time in 123 years athletically in the second division. Since two years later, financial problems came back to the club, the Geneva rose from the green table in the third division. After the direct re-emergence secured the West Swiss in the Challenge League 2016/17 third place behind the relegated FC Zurich and Neuchatel Xamax. Since Neuchâtel has risen in the last season, it would finally be the turn of the Genevans.
After all, they make a Super League worthy stadium. The Stade de Genève has a capacity for around 30,000 spectators. The Swiss national team needs the arena more often for friendlies and matches of the European Championship 2008 were held in Geneva. The start of the new season of the Western Swiss promises a lot. Servette Geneva won the away matches against FC Aarau (2-0) and against FC Chiasso (3-0). Since the two teams were in the bottom half of the table last season, the games are not yet seen as a barometer. The best scorer of Geneva of the past season is also in top form in the new season. Mychell Ruan Da Silva Chagas scored twice in the game against Chiasso.
