---------------------------------
FC Utrecht
FC Utrecht, coached by Ron Jans, holds a 3-1 lead from the first leg against Servette on August 7, 2025, with goals from an own goal by Anthony Baron (46'), Siebe Horemans (58'), and Gjivai Zechiel (61'). They followed with a 4-0 Eredivisie win over Heracles on August 10, averaging 3.0 goals scored and 0.5 goals conceded in their last three competitive matches. Key players include Victor Jensen (2 goals), Horemans (2 goals, 2 assists), and David Min, with a probable 4-2-3-1 lineup: Barkas; Horemans, Viergever, Van der Hoorn, El Karouani; Zechiel, Engwanda; Jensen, Cathline, Blake; Min. Utrecht’s strengths are their home dominance at Galgenwaard (unbeaten in last 10 competitive home games) and attacking fluidity (17 goals in last 5 matches). Injuries to Zidane Iqbal, Mike Eerdhuijzen, and Ivar Jenner are concerns. They aim to advance to the playoff round against the loser of the Zrinjski/Breidablik tie.
Servette FC
Servette, led by new coach Jocelyn Gourvennec, trails 3-1 after Jérémy Guillemenot’s 45th-minute goal in the first leg. They drew 1-1 with Grasshopper in the Swiss Super League on August 10, averaging 1.0 goal scored and 2.3 goals conceded in their last three competitive matches. Key players include Guillemenot (1 goal), Miroslav Stevanovic (2 assists), and Timothé Cognat, with a probable 4-3-3 lineup: Mall; Baron, Severin, Bronn, Mazikou; Cognat, Ondoa, Stevanovic; Guillemenot, Mráz, Jallow. Servette’s strengths are their attacking intent, but defensive frailties (17 goals conceded in 5 games) and injuries to Steve Rouiller (knee) and David Douline (wrist) are issues. They need a two-goal win to force extra time, with a loss dropping them to the Conference League play-offs.
Head-to-Head
Utrecht won the first leg 3-1 on August 7, 2025, with 15 shots (5 on target) to Servette’s 10 (3 on target), 6 corners to 6, and 81% pass accuracy to 79%. Matches between Dutch and Swiss clubs average 2.8 goals, with 60% over 2.5 goals and 60% both teams scoring (BTTS). Utrecht’s first-leg comeback gives them a strong advantage.
Predicted Score: FC Utrecht 2-1 Servette (5-2 aggregate)
Utrecht’s Jensen and Min face Servette’s Guillemenot and Stevanovic, with Utrecht’s home strength and lead tested by Servette’s desperate attacking push. Utrecht are favorites (1.56 odds, 64% win probability) over Servette (4.90), with a draw at 4.30, per Tips.GG. Trends (Utrecht: 80% over 2.5 goals; Servette: 60%) and H2H suggest goals, with betting tips favoring Utrecht -1.0 Asian Handicap (1.82) and BTTS (1.75). Cards may be issued in the 18°C evening, with Servette’s 20 yellows and 2 reds in 5 games indicating physicality. The winner advances to the Europa League playoff round; the loser drops to the Conference League. Utrecht is likely to score through Min, with Guillemenot possibly netting for Servette. Utrecht’s home form, attacking prowess, and two-goal lead should secure a narrow win, advancing them to the playoff round, though Servette’s counter-attacks may keep it competitive.
