Will the Czechs secure group victory?

In five of the eight groups in the UEFA Europa League, the group winner will be decided on the final matchday. There are signs of a big surprise in Group G, as it is not the highly rated top favorites from the eternal city of Rome who are at the top, but the traditional Czech club from Prague. In view of the current standings, a 1X double chance in the clash between Slavia Prague and Servette Geneva will probably be enough for the Czechs to win Group G.

Heading into the final matchday, the seven-time Czech champions have a two-point lead over Jose Mourinho’s Giallorossi, as well as a four-goal goal difference and a level head-to-head. If the Romans do not record a resounding victory against Sheriff Tiraspol, a point will be enough for Trpisovsky’s side. This is very likely, as odds of under 1.40 are offered for the home side in the Slavia Prague vs Servette Geneva betting odds

For the Swiss, the last Europa League game of the season is all about the prize money, as the Weiler team from French-speaking Switzerland have already secured third place and will be represented in the knockout phase of the UEFA Europa Conference League in spring 2024. The match kicks off at 18:45 on Thursday.

Slavia Prague – statistics & current form

The traditional Czech club laid the foundations for a great chance to win the group on the fourth matchday of the group when they won their home game against the Giallorossi 2-0. At first glance, this was very surprising, but the Romans had to play the Derby della Capitale against arch-rivals Lazio Rome the following weekend and were therefore not at their best. On matchday five, however, Trpisovsky had to tremble for a long time to retain first place. At Sheriff Tiraspol, the winning goal was only scored in minute 90+5 with a converted penalty

A convincing record at home

Winning the group would mean that the Czechs would skip a knockout round. It can therefore be assumed that the home side will take this game seriously so as not to let this great opportunity slip away. In addition to the different motivation for this game, the home strength also speaks clearly in favor of the hosts. The Czechs have won eight of their last ten home games on the international stage and have also won their last four international home games. The low odds for the home side in Slavia Prague vs Servette Geneva are by no means unfounded

At national level, Slavia Prague suffered their only defeat of the season at home (1:2 against Viktoria Pilsen), but their home strength was also underlined with seven wins and a draw. With a catch-up game behind them, Slavia Prague are currently second in the table, five points behind city rivals Sparta Prague

Servette Geneva – Statistics & current form

Rene Weiler’s return to Switzerland was not particularly successful in Geneva at the start of the season. After just one win from his first eight league games, the former Nuremberg coach has already come in for a lot of criticism, having also suffered two defeats at international level following the Champions League qualifying exit at the start of the group stage. However, the word crisis is no longer used at Servette Geneva, as the last few weeks have been extraordinarily successful

Twelve competitive matches without defeat

The feeling of defeat is no longer present, as the last time the Garnet Reds from Geneva lost a competitive match was on October 5. After the clear defeat in Rome, Servette have not lost in their last twelve competitive matches. In the league, Weiler’s eleven have started to catch up and are now in fourth place after 17 of 22 games in the basic round of the new Super League. The gap to league leaders Young Boys Bern is now only five points. In the meantime, Servette Geneva have celebrated seven league wins in a row

Internationally, Servette Geneva do not have fond memories of the Czech Republic, having failed to win in any of their four previous appearances. However, Servette Geneva’s last appearance in the Czech Republic was over 20 years ago. Internationally, Weiler’s team not only remained undefeated in the double against Sheriff Tiraspol (win and draw), but also earned a well-deserved point against Roma in front of a home crowd on matchday 5.
Servette Geneva’s sporting motivation is certainly not as strong as it will be for the home side. However, the Servette team, which is in good form and eager to play, should not be written off completely. What’s more, if they are successful, they can look forward to several francs in prize money. In this respect, the visitors can play with complete freedom and, given the quality of play, we consider the prediction of goals between Slavia Prague and Servette Geneva to be very interesting.

Slavia Prague – Servette Geneva head-to-head / H2H result

The first leg on matchday one was not the first meeting between the two teams. In the 2001/02 season, but still in the UEFA Cup at the time, the Swiss won the first round by a wafer-thin 2:1 after the first leg and second leg. This was followed by a friendly match in the summer of 2023, which the Czechs won. Trpisovsky’s team repeated this triumph on September 21. The traditional Czech club celebrated a 2:0 victory in the Stade de Geneve

Slavia Prague – Servette Geneva betting tip

With the lavish win bonuses on the international stage, no game is taken lightly, regardless of the table situation. Nevertheless, we do not expect the visitors from Switzerland to be at their best, as points are at stake again in the league this weekend. Third place in the Europa League has been secured and a place in the winter is therefore assured. The hosts will not only survive the winter, but can even secure top spot in their group. If the prediction of a home win for Slavia Prague against Servette Geneva is correct, the Czechs will definitely win the group. But a draw is also very likely to be enough

Given the fact that the Czechs are extremely strong at home and have won no fewer than eight of their last ten international home games, a home win should be realistic. However, given Servette’s strong form (twelve competitive games without defeat), we do not expect a resounding victory. In this respect, the bet “Win Handicap Away +1.5” finds its way into our top tips. As the main bet between Slavia Prague and Servette Geneva, we have selected the odds for the bet that both teams will score. Servette is a strong team that has nothing to lose.
