Chiasso form and stats

Chiasso, who have the fewest scored goals (8) in Challenge League, are still without points from their Challenge League away games. 5 games, 5 defeats. It's looking increasingly bleak for Chiasso who now has to deal with a six game losing streak. Vaduz was the last time a defeat was avoided. 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 Lausanne Sport match.

The manager A. Lupi was unhappy after their last game, a Challenge League match played at their home ground Stadion Schützenwiese. Chiasso suffered a 0-1 loss to Kriens (placed 5th). It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Grasshopper wasn't a success with a 2-3 loss.

Chiasso are seemingly not capable of scoring regularly on their travels in the league. They have only managed 2 goals from 5 away games. For Chiasso, more than two goals on average per game end up in their own net.
