Europa Preview: Servette is in a quagmire of losing streak, Udrecht is coming with a winning streak

Euro Baselvette VS Utrecht

Today, we will pay attention to an Europa event: Swiss super powerhouse Servette will face the Dutch Eredivisie team Utrecht at home.

As a leader in the Swiss Super League, Servette ranked second in the championship group last season and got a ticket to the UEFA Champions League qualifiers. Unfortunately, he failed to go further in the UEFA Champions League and eventually stopped in the qualifiers and moved to the Europa Stadium. From a theoretical perspective, when it comes to Europa, which has relatively low competitive strength, the team should show a stronger desire to win, but their condition has not been satisfactory recently - they have suffered three consecutive losses in the main competition, and their performance on both offense and defense is relatively sluggish, and it is urgent to win to reverse the decline.

In contrast, Utrecht entered the Europa League qualifiers last season as fourth in the Eredivisie. He has been in a hot state recently, with full firepower in two consecutive games, and averaged 3 goals per game and more. His efficient performance on the offensive end is impressive, which shows how much the team attaches importance to the game. In terms of staffing, Utrecht remained quite stable. In the offseason, only goalkeeper Brandhorst transferred to Sittade Fortuna for 250,000 euros, and the core lineups were all retained, which provided a solid guarantee for the continued team's strength.

Judging from the strength on paper, Utrecht is 2.8 times that of Servette, and the outside world has given some support to Utrecht. Combining the recent state of the two teams - Servette's three-game losing streak is in sharp contrast with the strength of Utrecht's two consecutive victories, overall, Utrecht is indeed more worthy of being favored.
