Prediction: 2-1
Utrecht
A place in the Europa League playoffs will be at stake when Servette and Utrecht lock horns in a highly-anticipated double-header. Servette didn’t go down without a fight in the Champions League tie with Plzen and their displays must be fuelling fans with optimism ahead of upcoming challenges. Bradley Mazikou is back from the Swiss Super League ban, but fellow defender Yoan Severin misses the first leg through suspension.
Utrecht, on the other hand, proved their worth in the two-legged tie with Sheriff Tiraspol, but they are no regarded as good travellers. As Servette have turned their Stade de Geneve into a real fortress, we predict that they are going to emerge triumphant in the first leg. There are no fresh injury worries in the away team ahead of the trip to Switzerland. The two sides have never met before in European competitions.
Highlighted Team (Utrecht):
Established on July 1, 1970, Utrecht is a Dutch club that competes in the Eredivisie. The club was founded as a merger of VV DOS, USV Elinkwijk, and Velox, and it has to be noted that VV DOS did well to win the Eredivisie trophy back in 1958.
Utrecht, on the other hand, have yet to win the national championship, but they have lifted three KNVB Cup trophies (1984/85, 2002/03, 2003/04). Leo van Veen is leading the club’s all-time goal-scoring chart with 153 goals. Speaking of the club’s colours, they were white and red shirts when playing at home, while blue is the dominant colour of their away jersey.
Due to the hooligan clashes, Utrecht have a rivalry with Dutch giants Ajax. The games between the two clubs have always been very tense on the field. Utrecht welcome their rivals at Stadion Galgenwaard, the venue which can hold up to 23,750 people. The stadium was opened back in May 1936.
