Young Boys – Servette Geneva Tip Swiss Super League, Matchday 1 on Saturday, 07/26/2025 at 8:30 p.m.
The Swiss Super League season kicks off and we start right away with a top match. Young Boys Bern host Servette Geneva, with the third-placed team from last season welcoming the second-placed team. Geneva has already played its first competitive match.
Servette recorded a 1-0 away win in the Champions League qualifier against Viktoria Pilsen, but it was a more than lucky victory. The defense was still very shaky, just like Bern’s in the preseason games.
That’s why I’ve gone for my favorite bet, both teams to score. I found the corresponding odds at NEO.bet at 1.60.
Young Boys vs. Servette Geneva AI predictions:
Regardless of my opinion, the AI has chosen the same odds, namely that both teams will score. ChatGPT sees only a low risk in this bet, which is not bad for a bet that would yield a net profit of $60 on a stake of $100.
It also sees advantages for the hosts, who have a squad value that is around four times higher and, with Gregory Wüthrich and Alan Virginius, the men in yellow and black jerseys have also strengthened considerably over the summer.
Accordingly, the artificial intelligence has suggested “Double Chance 1X” as a medium-risk option, in combination with “Over 1.5 goals.” With this combination, we are already moving towards the 2.00 mark.
Those who like it a little higher could also combine “1X” with both teams scoring. That would give us odds of 2.10.
In the higher region, the AI has picked a direct draw for Young Boys against Servette Geneva. I can well imagine a draw at the start, which is also how the most recent encounter in May ended.
I see Bern as the stronger team, but unlike the hosts, Geneva already has a competitive game under its belt and has gained confidence. BSC, on the other hand, has not won any of its last three friendly matches.
What you need to consider when betting on Young Boys vs. Servette Geneva
- Suboptimal preparation: Young Boys have won only two of their six test matches and have only kept a clean sheet in their 1-0 win against Breitenrain. The 17-time champions have now gone three games in a row without a win.
- Geneva, on the other hand, won four preparatory matches and the first leg of their Champions League qualifier against Viktoria Pilsen. However, FC conceded a whopping 25 shots, which was more than lucky considering they kept a clean sheet. Previously, they had conceded two goals in each of their two previous matches.
- Servette scored the third-most goals last season after champions Basel and Lucerne, but also conceded the most goals of any team in the Championship Round after Lugano, with 1.44 per game, and slightly more on average away from home.
- Bern, on the other hand, is strong at home, losing only two of its 19 games in its own living room throughout the season and finishing with the most points (43) and the most chances created.
- However, Bern has only kept a clean sheet once in nine games across both seasons. Neither team is particularly impressive defensively, conceding the third and fifth most shots on goal in 2024/25. We saw 37 shots in the last direct duel alone.
