servo mode is shutter priority release, the camera tries to keep up by continuing to focus, predictive is when it tries to predict ( and refocuses ) the subjects movement. Predictive mode is automatically on in multi frame advance mode, so all you have to do is set normal single af and multi frame advance ( vs single ), and hold the button down as the subject comes towards you.
