Chiasso form and stats

Chiasso, who have the fewest scored goals (32) in Challenge League, have only collected 8 points from their away games in the Challenge League, after 2-2-13 (17 played). Three might be a magic number, but there's been little wizardry in Chiasso's last three away games as they have all been lost.

Chiasso lost away at Wil (2-3) in their previous game and are perhaps starting to feel homesick. Prior to that match, a home win 2-1 against Winterthur.
