Union is planning the next derby cold start

The first goal of the game can be decisive. Hertha should be warned. Because Union arrives as a derby cold starter.

In the last three city duels, Union always struck between the 8th and 11th minute – record: 1 draw, 2 wins!

These goals caught Hertha cold at the start

On April 4, 2021, Robert Andrich (27, now Leverkusen) put Union ahead in the Alte Försterei in the 8th minute.

Hertha made it 1-1 in the ghost game through Dodi Lukebakio (24/35 minutes).

► In the first leg of this season Union defeated Hertha 2-0 on November 20 in front of 22,012 spectators in the sold-out Försterei.

Taiwo Awoniyi (24/8th minute) scored early. Christopher Trimmel (35/30.) put the lid on.

► In the round of 16 of the cup on January 19, in front of 3,000 fans in the Olympic Stadium, Andreas Voglsammer (30) scored in the 11th minute with the 1-0 goal of the month, which was later voted ARD’s goal of the month Foundation for Union’s 3-2 success.

A quick goal should again be an effective tool against Herthaners who are threatened with relegation.

Union coach Urs Fischer (56) obviously plans to catch Hertha off guard again: “It would be nice if you could do it that way. We want to be ready from the start and show that accordingly. If there is a chance to score, it helps for the whole game. There is even more security.”
