Chiasso form and stats

Chiasso have played three Challenge League home games so far, perhaps enough to set expectations for the season. In that case, only 1 point from these matches could be a signal of rough times ahead.

The home supporters saw a 1-1 draw versus Wil in the Challenge League last time out and are looking for a win here. Heartbreak before that as Chiasso lost 1-4 at Stade Lausanne-Ouchy's place.

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

Chiasso has huge difficulties finding the net and are scoring on average only once per two home matches in the league: 1 goal from 3 games. With more than 1,5 conceded goals on average, the Chiasso defense is not exactly impregnable. 5 goals conceded from 3 games. You can find more goal stats on the Statistics tab above.
