If we leave the statistics aside, the difference in quality between the two teams was also obvious. Chelsea is a much better team compared to Servette and the difference in the squad, the difference in the coach, the difference in the players were the main factors that determined the result. I think the match to be played tonight will be similar. Even though Servette is playing at home, they need to win by at least 2 goals and take the match to extra time in order to eliminate Chelsea.

Servette is not the opponent that should create any problems for Chelsea, and perhaps they should have achieved a more confident victory at home, but it will be impossible for Servette to win back even such a difference from Chelsea and the reason is precisely the difference between the teams, Chelsea's class is much higher.
For Maresca, these are the first matches, and it is clear that he will need some time to decide on the lineup, in the match with Wolverhampton it is clear that Chelsea with Maresca has huge potential, now the most important thing is to realize it in the result. Today, even a draw will be enough for them, I do not think that they will come to arrange another rout.

The second leg of the UEFA Conference League playoff between Servette and Chelsea will take place at Stade de Genève. In the first match, the Blues secured a 2-0 victory. However, Servette did not look hopeless, creating several dangerous chances and taking 19 shots on goal, with 8 of them on target.

At home, Servette will likely increase the pressure on Chelsea's defense, which has shown vulnerability on multiple occasions. Servette will do everything they can to fight for a place in the next round. My prediction: Servette will score at least one goal, but Chelsea will maintain their overall advantage over the two legs.
