Lugano II form and stats

The Lugano II coach and his crew return home after a 1-1 draw away versus St. Gallen II (placed 9th).

Heartbreak before that as Lugano lost 0-1 at Young Boys II's place.

There's a new fixture coming up fairly quickly for Lugano II, as the 1.Liga Promotion home game vs Paradiso is only three days away.

Rapperswil-Jona form and stats

The visitors settled for one point in their first 1.Liga Promotion away game of the season. During their previous season 16 away games resulted in 9 wins, 2 draws and 5 defeats.

Rapperswil-Jona's last game ended in a draw, the home match versus Biel-Bienne that finished 3-3. A bonkers fixture with plenty of goals last time out for Rapperswil-Jona, as mentioned above. 6 goals in that game, will this match be as gleeful?

Before that, the Swiss Cup victory away at Hongg.

There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the Rapperswil-Jona manager Sesa as the team has another away game coming up in only three days, this time against Basel II.

{1 goals} so far away for Rapperswil-Jona, while their defence has allowed the opposition to score 1. All from 1 league match away.
