The Wankdorf Stadium plays host to the 2023-24 Swiss Cup final as Servette and Lugano go head-to-head on Sunday. Having failed to win the last five meetings between the sides since April 2023, Mattia Croci-Torti’s men will head into the game looking to get one over the Maroons and secure their first piece of silverware since also clinching the Swiss Cup in 2022.
Servette wrapped up the 2023-24 Super League campaign with a win as they edged out Lugano 2-0 in the first of their two consecutive league-and-cup double-header last Saturday.
Prior to that, Rene Weiler’s side were on a three-game winless run, picking up one point from a possible nine since a 2-1 victory over Winterthur on May 4.
Servette, who secured a third-placed finish in the league table, now turn their attention to the Swiss Cup, where they edged out Basel and Sion en route to the final.
As for Lugano, last weekend’s defeat means they have failed to win their last five games against Servette since April 2023.
Croci-Torti’s men have also suffered consecutive defeats for the first time since losing three games on the bounce back in November 2023.
However, Lugano will be backing themselves to find their feet on Sunday as they have won all but one of their last five matches away from home across all competitions.
