Augsburg (AP) - The surprise team of 1. FC Union Berlin goes into the second half of the Bundesliga without a specific point target.

«I have no idea how many points we can or should get.

The 28 points now will not be enough to achieve our goal.

We still need points, ”said coach Urs Fischer before the start of the second half of the season on Saturday (3.30pm / Sky) at FC Augsburg.

Before the 18th matchday, the Köpenicker are in sixth place in the table and have a chance to qualify for the European competition.

However, the goal remains relegation.

“The team certainly did a great job in the first half of the season.

You can be a little proud of that, "said Fischer in view of the balance sheet on Friday at an online media round in Augsburg, but added:" That remains a snapshot for me.

Let's start the second half of the season better than we did at the beginning. "

Because at the start of the season, Augsburg had inflicted their only home defeat in the Alte Försterei at 3-1.

In the away game, Union has to do without the permanently injured attackers Max Kruse, Anthony Ujah and Joel Pohjanpalo, as well as the suspended defender Florian Hübner.

The 29-year-old was suspended for two games, but allegations of racism in the game against Bayer Leverkusen were not confirmed.

«It is important that this accusation of racism is off the table.

That’s done now, ”said Fischer, who is hoping for work from Sheraldo Becker, Nico Schlotterbeck and Grischa Prömel.

All three professionals were able to train in Augsburg on Friday.

"That looks good so far," said Fischer.
