Servette – the shape of the team and its analysis: the club managed to get out of the recession
“The Maroons”, after decades of misadventures, rose to 2nd place a year ago. And, having replaced their mentor, they try to maintain this status. The spring recession could have interfered, but they beat both Grasshopper and Winterthur (twice, including the cup semi-final) after 4 defeats in a row, and then took a draw on the field of St. Gallen. Still, there was an away defeat in the struggle with Zurich in the previous round – 1-2.
Young Boys – the shape of the team and its analysis: only the club can stop itself
“The Bees”, after a one-year pause, regained their status as the strongest club in Switzerland. Moreover, they achieved the so-called “golden double” in 2023. This time, the results are not so convincing, and the team was eliminated from the Europa League and the cup at the end of winter. It seemed that, by focusing on the championship, it would secure another title ahead of schedule. Still, the victories are interrupted by failures very often, and the author of last season’s successes, Wicky, was replaced in March. It just didn’t help much – there was a 0-1 misfire at the home arena in the confrontation with Lugano already in May. However, the team beat St. Gallen with a 3-1 result, maintaining sole leadership, in the previous round.
