Kaiserslautern vs Bayer Leverkusen Prediction 25.05.2024. Bayer Leverkusen, despite their dreams of invincibility and impressive triple success having failed, at least hope to conclude an otherwise brilliant season by clinching a double domestic title when they face Kaiserslautern in Saturday’s DFB-Pokal final at the Olympiastadion.

Xabi Alonso’s team ended their record unbeaten run in Wednesday’s Europa League final defeat to Atalanta, while their lower-league opponents aim for their third DFB-Pokal title.

Kaiserslautern Team News

Once dominant in the DFB-Pokal in 1990 and 1996, before clinching their fourth and last Bundesliga title in the 1997-98 season, Kaiserslautern has since been stuck in the 2. Bundesliga. Now they have the chance to return to their past successes, at least for one evening. The Red Devils have only overcome one top-flight opponent, Koln, to reach the final, but their most crucial victory came against third-division side Saarbrucken, who eliminated Bayern Munich before being halted by Kaiserslautern.

With two goals against Saarbrucken, the second-tier side progressed to their eighth DFB-Pokal final, but in most of their previous finals, they finished as runners-up, the last time against Bayern in the 2002-03 season. A poor season in the 2. The Bundesliga needed to instill confidence among the Kaiserslautern players, finishing 13th with 39 points from 34 matches. Nevertheless, the last game ended with a convincing 5-0 victory over Eintracht Braunschweig.

Despite a red card in the final 2. Bundesliga match for violent conduct, Almamy Toure will serve his suspension only in the league, meaning he will be available for the DFB-Pokal final. Top scorer Ragnar Ache and Jan Elvedi, who is struggling with a calf injury, are currently doubtful. Ben Zolinski, Hendrick Zuck, and Julian Niehues are injured, but Marlon Ritter has shown great form with a hat-trick against Braunschweig.

Bayer Leverkusen Team News

After fifty-one games undefeated before their journey to Dublin for the Europa League final, Bayer Leverkusen finally suffered their first loss after almost exactly a year at the Aviva Stadium. There, the remarkable Ademola Lookman scored an incredible hat-trick, becoming the first African player to net two goals in a major UEFA final. His triple strike ended Atalanta’s 61-year wait for another major trophy, and Leverkusen failed to respond to their dominance throughout the match.

Leverkusen can still take pride in their undefeated Bundesliga title win despite the defeat and now have the opportunity to become only the sixth club in history to clinch the German double. However, their loss in Dublin serves as a reminder of the importance of continuous progress.

As for potential changes to the team, coach Xabi Alonso has the entire squad at his disposal, as there were no injuries after the Europa League final. This allows him to select the best lineup for the next encounter. Players like Victor Boniface and Patrik Schick are eager to prove themselves after being on the bench in the last match, while Robert Andrich, Nathan Tella, and Odilon Kossounou are likely to get opportunities to play in different parts of the field to maintain the team’s freshness and strength.
