Servette vs Chelsea Predictions

Will Chelsea’s Firepower Be Too Much for Servette to Handle?

• Chelsea have conceded in each of their last 20 away games.
• Servette have managed only one win in their last six competitive matches.
• Noni Madueke has scored four goals in his last two games for Chelsea.

Best Bet

Chelsea are set to face Servette in the second leg of their UEFA Europa Conference League playoff on Thursday night. The Blues hold a comfortable two-goal lead following their 2-0 victory at Stamford Bridge, and now travel to Switzerland with a clear objective: secure their place in the group stage. However, Servette, who showed glimpses of potential in the first leg despite their defeat, will be desperate to overturn the deficit on home soil. This match promises intensity as the Swiss side seek redemption, while Chelsea aim to build on their recent strong performances.

Given the attacking capabilities of both teams and the defensive vulnerabilities they’ve displayed recently, the best bet for this fixture is over 4.5 goals.

Chelsea’s offensive firepower has been on full display in recent matches, with the Blues netting six goals in their last Premier League encounter against Wolverhampton Wanderers. Noni Madueke was particularly outstanding, scoring a hat-trick in just 14 minutes, showcasing the kind of lethal finishing that Chelsea fans have been eager to see. The dynamic link-up play between Cole Palmer and Madueke, which produced three assists for the latter, is a clear indicator that Chelsea are well-equipped to breach the Servette defence multiple times.

On the other side, Servette have struggled defensively, conceding 13 goals in their last five competitive matches. This includes a crushing 6-0 home defeat against Basel in the Swiss Super League, which starkly highlights their defensive frailties. Despite their shortcomings at the back, Servette have shown they can create chances, as evidenced by their 22 shots in the first leg against Chelsea. Should they rediscover their clinical edge in front of goal, they have the potential to contribute to a high-scoring affair.

Furthermore, Chelsea’s defence has been less than watertight, conceding four goals in their last two matches. The Blues have not kept a clean sheet in any of their last 20 away games, a statistic that suggests Servette will likely find the net at least once, adding to the goal tally.

BettingTips4You.com expert Gram Dodd summarises this by saying, “Given both teams’ recent form, it’s hard to see this match not featuring plenty of goals. Chelsea’s attack is in fine form, but their defence has shown vulnerabilities, making over 4.5 goals a strong bet.” With both sides possessing attacking threats and defensive weaknesses, a high-scoring game seems inevitable.

Additional Prediction

This prediction aligns with the over 4.5 goals bet, anticipating that Chelsea’s superior quality will eventually shine through, despite some resistance from Servette. The Swiss side, driven by the need to overturn a two-goal deficit, are likely to take an attacking approach, which could leave them exposed at the back. Chelsea, with their clinical attack, are well-positioned to exploit these gaps and score multiple goals. However, Servette are expected to capitalise on Chelsea’s defensive lapses, finding the net twice to keep the contest lively, but ultimately falling short against the visitors’ firepower.
