Servette FCCF travels to Zurich this Sunday for a top-tier clash. Both teams are title contenders this season, and a strong rivalry has developed over the years. Five points separate SFCCF (2nd) and FCZ (4th).

Only three league matches remain before the AXA Women’s Super League playoffs begin, and Servette FCCF currently sits in second place, level on points with FC Basel Frauen. The reigning champions from Geneva are aiming to relive the emotional highs of last season’s finale. To maximize their chances of going all the way, the Servette players want to finish the regular season as high in the table as possible. Doing so would allow them to play all the crucial playoff matches at home—a potentially decisive advantage.

With that in mind, the Genevans have their fate in their own hands. They face Zurich this Sunday, then host Grasshopper in Geneva before ending the regular season with a trip to Basel. Three victories would guarantee that SFCCF finishes top ahead of the playoff phase.

But before looking too far ahead, José Barcala’s players must stay focused on the next match—that’s the best way to perform consistently. And that next challenge comes fast, with a trip to Zurich (currently 4th), one of the main title contenders. After losing 1–0 to St. Gallen last weekend, Zurich will be eager to climb back up the standings.

Servette, meanwhile, lost their top spot after drawing with Lucerne. After that underwhelming performance, the Genevans are determined to bounce back—especially with the Swiss Cup semi-final coming up this Wednesday, March 12 at the Stade de Genève. A strong result in Zurich would be the perfect confidence boost.
