Shakhtar Donetsk takes on Servette at the Henryk Reyman Municipal Stadium in Poland for the first leg of this Conference League playoff first leg. Will the Miners or the Maroons advance to the league stage of the Conference League? Check out our match prediction!
After being eliminated from the Europa League by Panathinaikos on penalties, Shakhtar are down to their last chance at European football for the 2025-26 campaign.
Shakhtar were able to put an end to a streak of three consecutive draws by defeating Veres Rivne 2-0 away from home at the weekend in the domestic league. Shakhtar are yet to lose in the 2025-26 campaign. They’ve gone unbeaten in the first seven games of the new season, winning four times during that stretch.
The fans will likely feel a bit hard done by their exit in the Europa League third qualifying round as both legs were extremely close and could have gone either way.
Servette also made it to this stage after being eliminated in the Europa League third qualifying round. They were thoroughly beaten over the two legs, losing 5-2 on aggregate to FC Utrecht.
The Swiss side comes into this contest off the back of a dominant 5-0 away win over Dardania in the Swiss Cup. The result put an end to an ugly stretch of form which saw Servette fail to win in six consecutive matches, losing five.

Our Shakhtar Donetsk vs Servette Geneva Prediction
Shakhtar had impressive displays against Besiktas and were perhaps somewhat unlucky to have lost to Panathinaikos in Europa League qualifying. Servette, meanwhile, have found it tough going lately. Their defensive fragility is a real concern and they can’t seem to keep their opponents at bay in recent matches.
Despite being on neutral territory, we expect Shakhtar to win this one and take a comfortable lead back to Switzerland for the return leg. Our Shakhtar Donetsk vs Servette prediction: Shakhtar -1 European handicap.
