Berlin (dpa) -The 1. FC Union Berlin can take a huge step towards relegation with a success against their favorite opponent on the 25th matchday of the Bundesliga.
With 1. FC Köln, the only top division team that Union has been able to defeat in the three first division duels to date in the An der Alten Försterei stadium (3.30 p.m. / Sky) is a guest.
"Let's see that we keep that," said Union coach Urs Fischer.
Although the Köpenicker have been undefeated in four Bundesliga games and have not lost eleven times in a row in their own stadium, the team was very harmless in front of the opposing goal.
Only four goals were scored in the second half of the season and the offensive forces Taiwo Awoniyi, Anthony Ujah and Sheraldo Becker are still missing against the Domstadt team.
Hertha has to do without Sami Khedira and Matheus Cunha in the away game at Borussia Dortmund on Saturday evening (6.30 p.m. / Sky), and captain Dedryck Boyata is still unable to work after his broken foot in December.
Nemanja Radonjic, Javairo Dilrosun and Jordan Torunarigha are available again for this.

Hertha coach Pal Dardai focuses on the defense of BVB striker Erling Haaland, who scored four times in the 5-2 first leg win in Berlin's Olympic Stadium.
The Hungarian coach relies on the teamwork of his defense, which was well organized by Niklas Stark in the last few games.
