Thun
- Thun are top of the standings with 16 points from eight matches (W5, D1, L2) and a +4 goal differential.
- This Swiss Super League matchup offers plenty to intrigue the neutral spectator, as the underdog hosts make a dream start to the season after their promotion, while Servette try to find form under new boss Jocelyn Gourvennec. Our FC Thun vs Servette Geneve FC prediction highlights the unpredictable nature of this encounter.
- Thun have been flying under the watch of Mauro Lustrinelli, blending youth and experience in a high-tempo, high-pressing system that sees the home side swarm over opponents with turnovers regularly leading to rapid-fire attacks that yield multiple goals.
Servette
- Servette have had an up and down start to the new campaign, going down 0 - 3 at home to Basel one week and then thrashing Winterthur 4 - 0 the next, before falling to narrow defeats at Yverdon-Sport and Zürich.
- The inconsistency is a worry for Servette, who enter this game in 11th place with just 8 points from 8 matches and could do with three points to help drag themselves clear of the relegation zone. This FC Thun vs Servette Geneve FC betting tips analysis suggests that form alone may not be a reliable indicator for the visitors.
- Pragmatic coach Gourvennec has set up his side to have more of a possession-based approach to the game, keeping a solid defensive structure and controlling the tempo from a midfield hub in a 4-2-3-1 or 4-3-3 system.
- New signing Florian Ayé has made an immediate impact in the attack and brings Ligue 1 pedigree with him, but Miroslav Stevanović is the most creative and clinical player in this Servette side, leading both the assists and scoring stats by some distance.
Head-to-Head
Thun have a slight edge in the all-time head-to-head, winning 14 to Servette’s 11, and they will be confident of victory after 4-1 and 5-1 successes at this venue in 2021 and 2020 respectively.
