The season is still fairly new and the Challenge League table has to be read with caution. So far Kriens find themselves in 3rd position and Chiasso are placed 10th.

There’s little time for restitution or working hard at the training pitch these days, with both teams having played their last game less than four days ago.

Kriens form and stats

Perfect season at home so far for Kriens, as mentioned below. 2 wins from 2 appearances. Kriens has recorded two wins in a row here at Stadion Kleinfeld, increasing their hopes of victory in this match.

Kriens's previous game was a Challenge League match also played at home, ending 2-0 versus Chiasso. The home side are looking to build on that result. Prior to that, an away loss at Aarau.

The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Kriens have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found five games) they have won 2 times, drawn 1 and lost 2.

It's still early days, but we have some goal stats for the Kriens at home. 3 on target and 0 scored by the opposition; from 2 matches.

Chiasso form and stats

It's not happening yet for Chiasso on their travels, with zero points from their first 2 away games. Maybe today will be different? Three has not been a lucky number for Chiasso as they have been defeated three times in a row since the Wil match. Chiasso has lost their two previous away games and are eager to kill a negative trend in its infancy.

It might be tough going out on the road again for Chiasso, facing their second straight away game. Especially as the previous game, ended with a defeat 0-2 versus Kriens. A 0-3 defeat away at Lausanne Sport before that.

Chiasso are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is 0 wins, 2 draws and 5 defeats. From a total of seven matches.

As for goals scored and conceded in away games so far, Chiasso has managed 0 goals and let in 5 from 2 matches.

Head 2 Head

Kriens - Chiasso 2-0 was the story when these teams last met, earlier this season. Numbers for the last ten meetings between these two teams are: 1 win for Kriens, 7 draws and 2 wins for Chiasso. Over 2,5 goals: 3 times; under 2,5 goals: 7 games.
