Prediction published on 23/07/2023, 23:43  by Daniel Ngulu in Champions League Predictions

Servette will host Genk in the second qualifying round of the Champions League, after a strong start to the season. The Swiss side beat Grasshoppers 3-1 away from home for a flying start to their campaign. They’ve had a good scoring run coming from preseason and will hope to extend that here. In their last 12 matches, inclusive of preseason matches, they are yet to taste defeat. In that run, Servette won 10 times. With six straight wins, Servette have also done well defensively, conceding just three goals in that period. Les Grenats have managed at least two goals in four of their last five matches, and kept three clean sheets. This will be their first ever Champions League match and they hope to start this journey in style.

Genk had a disappointing end in the Belgian Pro League, missing out on the title in final day action. They will hope that miss fuels their fire this season. This will be their opening game of the campaign and they’ve had a shaky preseason run. In the four friendly matches played, they managed two wins, a loss and a draw. Four times in the last five matches, Genk have scored twice. That includes the 2-0 win over Burnley in their final preseason game. three of their last five matches have had over 2.5 goals. This match marks Genk’s return to Champions League football since 2021. They haven't won a game in the competition in their last 14 attempts though.
