Chiasso hope to sell some tickets for this game even though the season has been rough so far with 18 points and a 10th position in the Challenge League table. Visiting Winterthur holds 5th place with 42 pts.

There’s little time for restitution or working hard at the training pitch these days, with both teams having played their last game less than four days ago.

Relegation threatens Chiasso who should definitely be looking for some points here. Winterthur are still fighting for the big positions at the top of the table.

Chiasso form and stats

The home fans haven’t been spoiled with victories in the Challenge League this season. Chiasso have only managed 3 wins, 4 draws and 8 losses from their games here at Stadio Comunale di Chiasso. With three straight defeats the pressure is piling up on Chiasso to get some points in this home game.

The fans are hoping that Chiasso will strike back in this match, putting things right after the 1-2 away loss in the Challenge League game against Grasshopper (placed 2nd). Preceding that match was a defeat to Kriens (2-4).

The manager A. Lupi will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Aarau in only four days.

Chiasso are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 18 goals in 15 games. Defensively it’s touch-and-go for the home team as 25 goals have been conceded.
