Chiasso form and stats

The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Chiasso, who have the fewest scored goals (30) in Challenge League, so far with only 8 points returning home. The records show 2-2-12 (win-draw-lose). The travelling fans think it's time that their travel expenses are covered with some points now, as Chiasso have lost on their last two travels.

M. Hadzi and C. Manicone scored in Chiasso's previous match, the home game against Winterthur that ended 2-1. It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Thun wasn't a success with a 0-2 loss.

The visitors will be packing their bags again in only three days as another away game awaits: The Challenge League trip to FC Schaffhausen.

The attacking power of Chiasso when travelling is not overwhelming with 12 goals scored from 16 league matches away. The Chiasso manager B. Raineri has some worries about the defense as 33 goals have been conceded in these travels.
