Étoile Carouge have kept clean sheets in 2 of 4 matches this season, but their attack has dried up, scoring just 4 goals in total. Meanwhile, Rapperswil-Jona have scored a spread of 6 goals in 4 matches, but have conceded as many as 10 and have just lost 2 in a row (0-2, 0-2). The numbers say the home side are more solid, but the goal patterns suggest this match has a high chance of being open and end-to-end, with both teams scoring most frequently in the 76-90 minute period (28% and 22% of all goals). In their last 5 matches, Étoile Carouge are unbeaten in 3 straight, but have won by more than 1 goal only twice. Meanwhile, Rapperswil-Jona have lost by 1 goal or more in 3 of their last 5 matches, but have also thrashed an opponent 6-1. So this match comes down to whether the home side can break down the leakiest defense in the league, or whether the away side can counter-attack as sharply as they did in the match where they scored 6 goals.
