- Warning issued by Coach Enochs: Hertha outperforms their current league position.
The SSV Jahn Regensburg isn't letting Hertha BSC's rocky start to their season affect their approach in Berlin. Despite the capital team only earning one point from their initial two matches, Jahn's coach, Joe Enochs, is keeping a level head. "We're not overlooking Hertha BSC. They're a powerhouse in the 2nd Bundesliga," he stated before the Saturday showdown (13:00 CET/Sky) at the Berlin Olympic Stadium. "We've gotta give it our all if we want a shot at winning."
Managed by ex-Nuremberg coach Cristian Fiel, Hertha endured a 1:2 loss at home against Paderborn in their opener and then drew 1:1 at Hamburger SV. Enochs issued a warning against underestimating their performances. In the Paderborn game, Hertha missed a significant opportunity to shift the tide. "And if you examine the away match against Hamburg, Hertha controlled the second half, deserved the equalizer, and had the potential to clinch the win. And their DFB-Pokal performance? Speaks for itself." Hertha emerged victorious 5:1 over Hansa Rostock in the cup.
Jahn orchestrated an upset in the cup
Following promotion, Jahn commenced their league campaign with a 0:2 defeat in Hannover and then scored a 1:0 victory over Ulm. They then stunned the Bundesliga with a 1:0 triumph over VfL Bochum in the DFB-Pokal. Enochs vowed to bring the team that performed admirably in their recent victories to the Berlin battlefield.
Despite Jahn's impressive run in the DFB-Pokal, overturning a 0:2 defeat in Hannover and defeating VfL Bochum, Enochs emphasizes the importance of not underestimating Hertha's abilities. With their strong second-half performance against Hamburger SV and a convincing 5:1 win over Hansa Rostock in the cup, Soccer fans should expect an intense match between the two teams in Berlin.
