Kaiserslautern vs Bayer Leverkusen Prediction & Picks - DFB Pokal
by Tyler Doty in Soccer Picks
Bayer 04 Leverkusen had the dream of a perfect season, which was shattered on Wednesday against Atalanta when they lost the final in the Europa League. Now, the Werkself goes into the cup final against Kaiserslautern with a chip on their shoulder. The German champions clearly hold the favorite role in this match. On the other hand, Kaiserslautern, a second-division team, comes to Berlin with a lot of enthusiasm, having recently celebrated their survival in the league. Moreover, this game is one of the biggest highlights ever for their fans. This could make the match more interesting than it initially appears, as Leverkusen has the most to lose.Limited Offer.

Kaiserslautern - Bayer Leverkusen: Form Analysis
Bayer Leverkusen, unbeaten in 51 games met their match in an Atalanta team who ended that incredible streak. Nevertheless, it doesn't change the overall good form. Leverkusen has still won four of the last six games, scored more than one goal in almost every match, and consistently maintained their style. The final in Dublin casts only a small shadow over an otherwise glorious season, in which Leverkusen was almost always superior to their opponents.
Summarizing the situation in Kaiserslautern is a bit more complicated. In general, the last few weeks have seen a slight improvement, with a clear 5-0 win against Braunschweig, and three of the last four games won. However, there have also been critical phases where too much was conceded. In the long term, there have been only three wins in the last seven games. Nevertheless, the overall feeling is one of euphoria

Kaiserslautern & Bayer Leverkusen Squad Analysis
Challenger Kaiserslautern can likely count on striker Ragnar Ache, which is the most important news for now. He had been dealing with Achilles tendon issues but is very likely to be fit in time. Ben Zolinski, Julian Niehues, and Hendrick Zuck will likely be out, but the recently in-form Marlon Ritter will be available. The same goes for Almamy Toure, whose suspension only applies to the league.
Meanwhile, Leverkusen is in a bit of recovery mode. The game against Atalanta came with a few minor injuries. Florian Wirtz will likely be fit enough for the squad, and in goal, it will probably be the number two, Matej Kovar, who is allowed to play in cup competitions. Otherwise, it is likely that Xabi Alonso will choose a more offensive lineup than in the Europa League final. Stanisic might be the "victim" and find himself on the bench. It is quite possible that given the expected superiority, a center forward, either Boniface or Schick, will start from the beginning
