🟡 Last season, the team from Bern finished in third place - not exactly a failure, but for a club accustomed to winning gold, it's certainly not their ceiling. The Champions League turned into a brief stint: just one victory and an early exit. Throughout the season, there were ups and downs, a coaching change, and a search for stability.
⚫ Since December, Giorgio Contini has been at the helm - a man who knows how to play the long game. Over the summer, the club made careful reinforcements: Virginijus, Wüthrich, Bedia, plus the return of several players from loan spells. No flashy headlines, but effective moves. In Bern, they don't promise fireworks - they promise order, structure, and a return to their usual ambitions.
🔗 However, preparation for the new season was somewhat disjointed. The "Yellow and Blacks" played four friendly matches but secured only one win. They also drew once and lost twice. Currently, Young Boys are not the outright favorites but contenders who need to prove themselves. The start of the season will reveal how well Contini has managed to find balance and restore stability to the team. The objective is clear - reclaim the trophy.

🔴 Last season in Geneva can be considered a success: second place in the Super League, a solid core, and a team that knows what it wants. Without European competitions, but perhaps that allowed Servette to focus on the domestic league and maintain consistency throughout the season.
⚪ Thomas Häberli conducted the summer preparations without any excesses: a clear training camp, a series of friendly matches, and a smooth transition into form. No high-profile transfers, but an emphasis on cohesion and tactical discipline. The Genevans aren't shouting about their ambitions, but they certainly make a statement on the pitch.
🔗 The "Grenats" played five friendly matches, securing four wins and one loss. The club then embarked on their Champions League qualification journey, facing Czech side Viktoria Plzeň away in the quarter-finals and securing a narrow 1-0 victory. In the new season, expectations for Servette include maintaining stability and finally making strides in matches against direct competitors. If Häberli's team can increase their attacking prowess and learn to clinch victories where they previously settled for draws, the Geneva project could well contend for the title.
