Special starting position for Servette
Geneva, who were drawn against a tough opponent in Braga, were somewhat surprised to secure a goalless draw in Portugal. So everything is wide open ahead of the home game, which is likely to be well attended. Especially as Braga are currently in turmoil. After just four competitive matches - two wins, two draws - coach Daniel Sousa has been dismissed. Conflicts with the club management are said to have been the reason. In Geneva, the team is now being coached by a team of assistants.
But not everything is going according to plan at Servette either. On Sunday, the team lost 6-0 at home to Basel, followed by problems with star player Dereck Kutesa. Coach Thomas Häberli is also worried about Miroslav Stevanovic, who was substituted with an injury. It is clear to everyone involved that the game against Braga is already a small final. If Servette win, participation in the European Cup is secured. If Servette lose, they will face no less an opponent than Chelsea in the Conference League play-offs - an almost insurmountable hurdle.

Zurich with its back to the wall
The starting position is almost hopeless for FC Zurich, who had to travel to the away game against Vitoria Guimarães with a 3-0 deficit. The current Super League leaders need a sensation in northern Portugal to reach the play-offs against Bosnian side Zrinjski Mostar or Bulgarian representative Botev Plovdiv.
