Servette host Ludogorets at the Stade de Geneve on Thursday in the first leg of their 2023-24 UEFA Europa Conference League playoff round.
The home side are enjoying a strong run of form in the Swiss Super League at the moment and will hope they can replicate a similar showing on the European stage this week. They kicked off their continental campaign in the Europa League group stages but endured a tough run of results, ultimately finishing third in a group including Slavia Praha, Roma and Sheriff.
Ludogorets endured a difficult start to their Conference League group stage campaign, losing two of their first three games. However, they picked up form right after, going on to win their final three group matches to clinch a second-place finish behind Fenerbahce.
The visitors were knocked out at this stage of the competition last season after losing on penalties to Belgian outfit Anderlecht and will hope they can find better luck this time around.
