Servette Team News
Servette’s footballers played a 1-1 draw against Lausanne Ouchy in the last round of the Swiss Super League as visitors. The home team scored the first goal in the 68th minute of the match, and the equalizer came only in the sixth minute of added time, with a goal from Patrick Pflucke.
In the first three rounds, they secured one victory and two draws, while they achieved a clean sweep of victories in their four friendly matches. They secured the second position on the table in the Champions League qualifiers with 58 points, one more than the third-placed Lugano.
On the flip side, Servette’s lengthy injury list contains Theo Magnin, Miroslav Stevanovic, Alexis Antunes, Keigo Tsunemoto, Alexnder Lyng, and Jeremy Frick.
The visitors will also be without the suspended striker Enzo Crivelli on Tuesday due to his red card against Genk, which means that Chris Bedia will likely partner Jeremy Guillemenot in a 4-4-2 formation.
