Servette have had an excellent season of return to the top flight, but their form was not as good post the pandemic break as it was earlier in the season. The Genevans have seen numerous players leave the club over the summer. The likes of Sebastien Wuthrich and Jung-bin Park were among their best performers, but it was known for a while that they would be leaving, with the former not playing after the pandemic break and the latter not playing at all in 2020 after declining to sign a new contract. The other players who left were rotation options, but the problem is that they have left without really been replaced. Only two summer signings were made in Arial Mendy and Moussa Diallo, while the Genevans were otherwise looking to fill their squad by promoting players from their reserve side. There were several occasions during the previous season when Servette were unable to fill the bench due to having five or six players injured. Their senior squad was therefore not that big to start with and this issue will be even greater this time around. All in all, while still having a solid starting eleven, Servette enter the new season with no real momentum and huge worries on how they will cope with the demanding schedule.

Target

It is extremely difficult to see them repeat the campaign they had last time around. Midtable safety would suffice.

Season Review

2019/2020

№4: Servette

Despite returning to the top flight after a lengthy absence, Servette were not expected to have anything to do with relegation and they have justified such predictions. They played well without getting the results early in the season, but their results eventually started to match their performances and they got themselves in the battle for Europe, where they spent the remainder of the campaign. Key man Sebastien Wuthrich was frozen out of the squad in the second half of the campaign due to refusing to sign a new contract, but Miroslav Stevanovic stepped up to provide the creativity. The Genevans eventually did slow down - it came after the pandemic-caused break, when their number of injured players was simply too large to overcome. While this has made it impossible for them to challenge Basel for third, they still had a sizeable lead over the remainder of the league and deservedly managed to finish fourth. While particularly pronounced early in the season, their problem with turning performances into goals never really went away. If they manage to strengthen the strike force during the summer, they could even aim for a higher finish next season.
