Servette FC vs FC Sion Prediction

Alright, gather round! We've got a tasty Swiss Super League clash coming up on Saturday evening as Servette FC host FC Sion. Now, if you're looking for a game with clean sheets and defensive masterclasses, you might want to look elsewhere, mate. This one has goals written all over it.

Servette are sitting down in 10th place with just 28 points from 26 games, but don't let that fool you into thinking they're pushovers. These lot are harder to get rid of than a bad cold – they've drawn six of their last ten matches! Recent results show a 1-1 against second-placed St. Gallen, a mad 3-3 thriller away at Lausanne, and another 1-1 against third-placed Lugano. The only problem? They can't defend to save their lives. Zero clean sheets in their last ten games, conceding 18 goals in that run. Even at home, they're shipping 1.8 goals per game like it's going out of fashion.

Now, Sion are the higher-placed side sitting pretty in fourth with 40 points, and they come into this off the back of a cracking 3-1 win against Young Boys. But here's the thing – away from home, they've been about as decisive as a bloke choosing between lager and bitter. Four away games without a win, drawing three of them including a 0-0 at Luzern and that 3-3 shootout with Servette back in January. They score though, averaging 1.75 goals per game on the road, but they leak two a pop as well.

The recent history between these two is fascinating. Servette haven't lost to Sion in nine meetings – three wins and six draws. The last time they met on January 31st, it was a proper barnburner ending 3-3. Before that, we've seen 2-0, 1-1, 3-3, 3-0... plenty of goals and plenty of shared spoils. These two just seem to bring out the attacking side in each other.

With Servette conceding in every single game for ten matches straight and Sion finding the net in 60% of their recent games, plus both teams showing they can score on the road and at home respectively, Both Teams To Score looks a banker. The odds of 1.67 might not make you a millionaire overnight, but the value is there. Servette's matches are averaging 3.4 goals per game recently, and with Sion involved in tight contests but still managing to score, I can't see either keeper keeping a clean sheet here.

Key Points:

• Servette have drawn 6 of their last 10 games, including recent 3-3 and 1-1 results against quality opposition

• Servette have 0 clean sheets in their last 10 matches, conceding 18 goals (1.8 per game)

• Sion are unbeaten in 4 away games (3 draws, 1 loss) but haven't won on the road recently

• The last meeting was a 3-3 draw in January, part of a 9-game unbeaten H2H run for Servette (3 wins, 6 draws)

• Both teams have been involved in high-scoring games recently with Servette averaging 3.4 total goals per game

Summary: This has draw written all over it, but instead of trying to predict the exact result in a game between two teams who love sharing the points, let's go with the safer option. Both Teams To Score at 1.67 is the play here – Servette can't defend, Sion can attack, and neither side knows how to keep things tight. Back the goals and enjoy the ride!
