Servette and KRC Genk get their UEFA Champions League qualification campaign underway when they lock horns at the Stade de Genève on Tuesday.
Both sides finished as runners-up in their last respective top-flight campaigns last season and will look to begin their quest for Champions League football on a high.
Servette could not have hoped for a better start to the new Swiss Super League campaign as they picked up a comfortable 3-1 victory over Grasshopper Zurich on Saturday.
With their opening-day result, Rene Weiler’s men have now won six consecutive games across all competitions, stretching back to a 3-3 draw against Basel on May 25.
Servette are unbeaten in their last 12 outings, claiming 10 wins and two draws since a 6-1 loss to Young Boys on April 22.
Elsewhere, Genk wrapped up their friendlies with a comfortable 2-0 victory over Burnley at the weekend courtesy of goals from Yira Collins Sor and Tolu Arokodare.
Wouter Vrancken’s men enjoyed a solid pre-season campaign as they picked up three wins and one draw in their five matches.
Genk will look to kick off their Champions League qualifiers on the front foot and get a win on the board ahead of their league opener against Molenbeek on July 29.
