Servette vs Shakhtar Donetsk prediction
The first-leg of this UEFA Europa Conference League playoff round tie was played at the neutral venue of Stadion Miejski im. Henryka Reymana due to the ongoing conflict between Ukraine and Russia. That game finished one apiece, with Servette taking an eighth minute lead via midfielder Lamine Fomba, before Valeriy Bondar equalised for Shakhtar mid-way through the second-half.
Servette have failed to win any of their opening three Super League matches, sitting rock-bottom in the table domestically. Shakhtar Donetsk have been entertaining to watch in European competition so far this season.
Shakhtar head to Switzerland with a depleted squad, but the lack of home advantage shouldn’t bother them too much and both teams scoring seems a good bet.
