Kaiserslautern vs Bayer Leverkusen Prediction & Betting Tips (25 May)

Resident of the 2nd division this season, Kaiserslautern is the surprise guest of this German Cup final. Indeed, nothing predestined this team to reach this stage of the competition, especially since they did not dominate the debates in their championship, far from it. FCK ultimately only finished in 13th position in the 2.Bundesliga standings with 7 points ahead of the play-off but it still remains on 3 successes won during the last 4 days played against Holstein Kiel 1- 3, Magdeburg 4-1, Hertha Berlin defeated 3-1 and Eintracht Brunswick 5-0. In the previous rounds, the Red Devils took the measure of Cologne 3-2, Nuremberg 2-0, Hertha Berlin 1-3 and Sarrbrüecken 0-2. Opposite, the incredible series of invincibility of Bayer Leverkusen has ended this week in the Europa League final.

After finishing the Bundesliga season without the slightest defeat, this team was undoubtedly the victim of a bout of decompression against a very good team from Atalanta Bergamo who largely dominated the debates to claim their first European title. 3-0. Nevertheless, the very recent German champions have a new opportunity to win a new trophy in this German Cup final where they had already dismissed Sandhausen 2-5, Paderborn 2-0, Stuttgart 2-1 and Fortuna Düsseldorf 4-0. In the championship, the Usine 11 was able to preserve its invincibility by ending the season with 3 successes against Eintracht Frankfurt 1-5, Bochum 0-5 and Augsburg 2-1 last weekend.

Suspended last week during the last day of the championship, midfielder Zimmer will make his return. On the other hand, the precious Niehues and the less important Zuck and Zolinski are all still out of shape and out of this final. Sent off during the last day, the former Monegasque Almany Touré is not suspended for this cup final. The residents of the 2nd division should on the other hand be able to count on their best offensive elements like the striker Ache who has scored 16 times this season in the championship. We also find the excellent playmaker Ritter who passed the mark of 10 goals scored in 2.Bundesliga during his hat-trick scored last week against Eintracht Brunswick.

Like Wednesday against Atalanta Bergamo, the Bayer Leverkusen should tackle this final in full force. Also, Xabi Alonso should renew his confidence in his executives who performed throughout the season but who missed the boat on Wednesday evening in Dublin. Among them, we think of formidable full-backs Frimpong (9 goals, 7 assists in the league) and Grimaldo (10 goals, 13 assists in the league), midfielders Xhaka (3 goals) and Palacios (4 goals). The attackers Schick (7 goals in the Bundesliga) and Boniface (14 goals, 8 assists in the league) are also available, they who were only substitutes on Wednesday against the Italians for the benefit of the former Toulouse player Adli who did not convince, no more than the real nugget Wirtz (11 goals, 11 assists in the Bundesliga).
