Does Sion have to go to the barrage?
In Switzerland, almost all decisions have already been made before the last matchday. The only thing that matters is who finishes in ninth place and must, therefore, be in the barrage against the second in the Challenge League. FC Thun currently has a slight advantage in the race for the targeted eighth place. The Bernese Oberlanders are one point ahead and with FC Zurich an opponent in front of their chests, which most recently served as cannon fodder.
However, the task is all the more complicated for the direct competitor from Sion, who has to compete in Geneva. Although the hosts can no longer be denied the ticket for the Europa League qualification, the odds of the best bookmakers will, of course, be influenced by the fact that it is a real Romand derby before the duel Servette Geneva against Sion.
We are therefore skeptical whether the implied role of favorites of the significantly worse placed guests is justified or whether the host will do everything possible to shoot the geographic neighbors from western Switzerland into the relegation, precisely because of the long-standing rivalry.
For the second scenario and an associated Servette Geneva vs Sion Last but not least, Sion’s prediction speaks of the home strength of the promoted team, who last lost in their stadium in October 2019 and has remained unbeaten in eleven games since then.
Servette Geneva – Statistics & current form
Even before the last matchday, those responsible at Servette Geneva can draw a positive conclusion to the season. In the year one after promotion from the Challenge League, French-speaking Switzerland caused a sensation and have not been displaced from the fourth place since Friday. In the coming season, the garnets will celebrate their comeback on the international stage.
Before that, more than a successful year should end with a sense of achievement. Despite the athletic insignificance, there should be no lack of motivation among coach Alan Geiger’s team. On the one hand, the Servette FC is determined to shoot the rival into the relegation. On the other hand, the impressive home series is also to be continued.
Geneva unbeaten at home since October 2019
None of the last eleven home games have lost the garnet reds in the Super League. The last defeat was on October 20, 2019. Since then there have been seven wins and four draws. Among other things, the reigning champions from Bern or FC Basel could be defeated at home. Even better: with six of the seven successes mentioned, a handicap bet (-1.5) would always have paid off.
In our eyes, it would be appropriate – despite the starting position mentioned – to give a bet on the home win between Servette Geneva and Sion. The course in the parallel game of FC Thun in Zurich could also benefit the host. If the Bernese Oberlanders were in the lead in the Letzigrund, the chances of the FCS would be reduced to a minimum and a home threesome would be more likely.
The only problem is the strained personnel situation at the Geneva team, although a large number of the currently missing players have not been available for the latest results such as the 4: 1 against Neuchatel or the 2: 2 against FC Basel. Instead, Coach Geiger will present a young team that wants to prove itself at the highest national level.
The probable lineup of Servette Geneva:
↪ Kiassumbua – Iapichino, Rouiller, Henchoz, Sauthier – Martial, Holcbecher – Imeri, Cognat, Stevanovic – Kone

Sion – Statistics & current form
FC Sion is concerned about relegation! A matchday before the end, the Valais can only jump to the eighth place if they score at least one point more in their game in Geneva than FC Thun at FC Zurich at the same time. Otherwise, there are two relegation matches against FC Vaduz, which occupies second place in the second Swiss League.
The current constitution of the red and whites is not bad at all. After six unbeaten matches in a row, it suffered a close 0-1 loss to the Young Boys from Bern last Friday, causing Sion to drop back to ninth and cause Thun to pass.
Sion no longer has it in her own hands
Especially in a foreign country, the team of coach Tramezzani recently presented anything but second-rate. Seven points from the recent three away games underline the thesis that the Sioners have not given up. It is also a fact that the starting position and the pressure on Monday evening is a completely different one. Consequently, the latest results regarding the Servette Geneva against Sion forecast should not play a major role.
In terms of personnel, Coach Tramezzani, who only took over the scepter in the Valais at the beginning of June, can draw on almost everything. All service providers are available. Nevertheless, we would rightly claim that the lower odds for the guest between Servette Geneva and Sion are disproportionate, even if the betting providers know that only one away win will probably be enough to catch up with Thun.
The probable lineup of Sion:
↪ Fickentscher – Lenjani, Bamert, Ndoye, Maceiras – Zock – Baltazar, Grgic – Itaitinga, Uldrikis, Kasami

Servette Geneva vs Sion Direct comparison
Less than 100 kilometers lie between the two cities in western Switzerland. Because they are also the most successful clubs in this region, people like to talk about the real Romand derby. The teams have faced each other three times this season, and there has not yet been a winner. All three clashes ended in a tie (1-1, 1-1, 0-0). The remaining duels can, however, be excluded since they have been in the past for almost ten years.

The last game day in the Swiss Super League is all about relegation battle on Monday evening. Neuchatel Xamax has been the only direct relegation to the House of Commons for some time, but in the race for eighth and ninth places, there is an exciting duel between Sion and Thun. The latter team has relegation with a win in their own hands.
Before the Servette Geneva vs Sion game, odds will be affected by the fact that only one win will help guests. Nevertheless, we consider it daring to assume that the Valaisers will kidnap all three points for the strong climber, especially since he has not lost at home since October 2019.
Key facts – Servette Geneva vs Sion tips
💫 Geneva has been unbeaten for eleven home games (seven wins, four draws)
💫 Sion no longer has relegation in its own hands
💫 The last three Romand derbies all ended in a draw
In our eyes, the bet on the home win between Servette Geneva and Sion has a lot more value, especially since the guests could go down during the game, provided that they learn that Thun is ahead of FC Zurich. To further minimize the already small residual risk, we even opt for a “draw no bet” bet so that in the event of a draw the stake will be refunded.
