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, 3 draws and 7 losses from their games here at Stadio Comunale di Chiasso. Regardless of arena the trend is looking very unhealthy for Chiasso with their four defeats in a row. Not since the Wil game, 133 days ago, have they avoided a loss.

Chiasso lost their last game at Kriens (placed 4th) after a 1-4 scoreline. Before that game, the home loss against Aarau with the scoreline 1-3.

There's a new game coming up fairly quickly for Chiasso as they are travelling to their away game against Lausanne Sport in the Challenge League. That match is three days after this one.

Chiasso are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 15 goals in 13 games. With more than 1,5 conceded goals on average, the Chiasso defense is not exactly impregnable. 20 goals conceded from 13 games. You can find more goal stats on the Statistics tab above.

FC Schaffhausen form and stats

Schaffhausen's last game ended in a draw, the home match versus Vaduz that finished 2-2. Preceding that game, the 1-1 draw paying a visit to Stade Lausanne-Ouchy.

It looked so good for Schaffhausen vs Vaduz, but the job was not completed and victory was lost as a 2-0 lead was turned into a 2-2 draw.

After this away game Schaffhausen return home for a Challenge League game against Wil. That game is only three sleeps after this.
