Chiasso form and stats

Chiasso have only collected 5 points from their away games in the Challenge League, after 1-2-13 (16 played). Bitter travels for Chiasso as they have lost five games in a row away from home. The last time they avoided an away-from-home loss was the Vaduz match. It's looking increasingly bleak for Chiasso who now has to deal with a four game losing streak. FC Schaffhausen was the last time a defeat was avoided.

Home advantage was not enough for Chiasso in their previous game, as they lost their Challenge League-match, hosting Winterthur, 0-1. A 1-2 defeat away at Grasshopper before that.

After this away game Chiasso return home for a Challenge League game against Vaduz. That game is only four sleeps after this.

Scoring goals is the main ingredient in creating success in football, and not only at home. So far Chiasso have scored 19 goals in 16 league games away. For Chiasso, more than two goals on average per game end up in their own net.

Head 2 Head

This is the result when the teams met earlier this season; Chiasso - Aarau 1-3. Head-2-head stats last ten meetings: seven - one - two (Aarau wins - draws - Chiasso wins). As for goals, seven matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), three had two or less.
