On Thursday night, Servette and Roma clash at the Stade de Geneve in Group G of the Europa League.
Servette form guideThe Swiss team seem to have hit their stride form-wise of late, as they are unbeaten in their previous nine games in all competitions, having recorded seven wins in 90 minutes and one on penalty kicks.
Rene Weiler’s team has certainly been potent in front of goal lately, too, as they have scored at least two goals in five of their last six outings.
After defeats in their opening two games in the Europa League against Slavia Prague and Thursday night’s opponents, Servette has picked up a draw and a win against Sheriff, which has left them in third place in the group.
Only a victory in this game would give the home team any chance of making the knockout stages of the competition. Currently, they would drop into the Europa Conference League play-offs.
Roma form guideThe Giallorossi’s recent form has been highly inconsistent, as they have won two, lost two and drawn one of their previous five games in all competitions. Their recent games have been relatively low-scoring, with under 2.5 goals scored in five of their last seven games.
However, the team from the Italian capital currently sit in second place in the Group G table and need just a point to qualify for the competition's knockout stages.
Jose Mourinho’s team won their first three group games before a 2-0 loss against group leaders Slavia Prague.The defeat in the Czech capital also ended a good scoring run for Roma, who had scored at least two goals in each of the three straight wins.
What am I backing?This could be a close encounter, as Servette is in good form and Roma is unpredictable. I think this may be a high-scoring encounter, so I am backing over 2.5 goals scored.
