Union Berlin Sets 35-Point Target in Push to Secure Safety

Coach Steffen Baumgart says the club has not secured Bundesliga survival.

Overview

  • Union Berlin, which visits Heidenheim on Saturday, would reach 35 points with a win and move much closer to staying up.
  • Union sits on 32 points, seven ahead of the relegation playoff and eleven clear of automatic relegation with 18 still available.
  • Steffen Baumgart says the team has not hit its main goal yet and calls for a full 90-plus-minute performance to earn a result.
  • Union has never beaten Heidenheim in the Bundesliga, including a first meeting this season decided by two stoppage-time goals.
  • A Union victory would also increase last-place Heidenheim’s risk of dropping to the second division.
