HB Koege

Koge and Servette will face each other in a UEFA Women's Champions League second-round match on Thursday, October 1. The game will kick off at 18:45 CET, and I am backing a bet on this encounter.
Koge - Servette: Match Preview and H2H
Koge are representatives of Danish football who have made an unsuccessful start to the new UEFA Women's Champions League season. In their opening game, they faced Arsenal and lost 0:1. However, they had a solid qualifying campaign before that, beating PSV 2:1 on aggregate over two legs, while they had previously thrashed Riga FC and progressed past Hearts. As for the domestic scene, Koge are currently top of the table with 24 points after nine rounds. They have a four-point lead over second place. They were crowned champions last season and will now look to retain their title.
Servette are a Swiss side who finished top of the regular-season table last campaign, reached the playoffs, made it to the final and beat Young Boys 4:1 on aggregate over two legs. As a result, they secured another league title in recent seasons. They also stormed through UEFA Women's Champions League qualifying. They first thrashed Dinamo Minsk 3:0, then Aktobe 4:0, before beating Sparta Prague 5:3 on aggregate over two legs. However, in the opening round of the Women's Champions League, they suffered a heavy 0:8 defeat to Lyon. Their domestic campaign is going well, though, with Servette currently sitting top of the table.
Match Facts and H2H
- Koge have lost just one of their last four matches.
- Servette have also suffered just one defeat in their last four matches.
- Servette have failed to score in their last two matches.
- These two teams have never faced each other in their history.
Prediction
I think we can expect an open match between two evenly matched teams. Both sides lost their opening game and will now be looking for a win, so I am backing over 2.5 goals at odds of 1.57.
