Kaiserslautern vs. Bayer Leverkusen Predictions

Prediction, Odds & Betting Tips for Kaiserslautern vs. Bayer Leverkusen at DFB-Pokal

  • Where: Olympiastadion, Berlin, Germany
  • When: Sunday, May 26, 02:00 AM

Leverkusen’s dreams of a perfect season ended in Dublin a few nights ago when they lost to Atalanta in the UEFA Europa League finals. Xavi Alonso’s team needs to rise above the occasion and show its power because another big-time challenge is coming up. The German Cup finals are on, with Kaiserslautern awaiting Lever. The German Red Devils are one of the bigger teams in the country, although we need to say that now, this organization sits far away from its glory days.

Kaiserslautern vs. Bayer Leverkusen Preview

Kaiserslautern

If it weren’t for a strong finish to the year, Kaiserslautern would have dropped to the third tier of German football. Three wins in the past four rounds saw the Red Devils escape from the red zone in Zweite and keep their status. 

The excellent attack was the reason why this team stayed in the league. In those three wins (against Holstein Kiel on the road and Magdeburg and Braunschweig at home), Kaiserslautern netted 12 times.

Overall, their matches are interesting and exciting, with plenty of goals. In eight of the recent ten they played, both teams scored on eight occasions, while seven saw over 2.5 hits. 

Bayer Leverkusen

Lever suffered a shocker on Wednesday night, losing 3-0 to Atalanta and missing an opportunity to win an international trophy. The way the Italian team suffocated Leverkusen’s midfield was stunning, and it was no wonder to see them scoring twice inside the first part of the opening half. 

We have to notice that Bayer’s defense performed mediocrely over the last month or so. In the latest 10 events, they kept only three clean sheets. Now, the attack covered up all this until now, when we saw Wirtz and the boys helpless.

Kaiserslautern vs. Bayer Leverkusen Head to Head

It is interesting that the previous two meetings between these two units took place in DFB Pokal. Both ended without goals during the regular 90 minutes and after that, Kaiser had more luck in 2014 and Leverkusen in 2015, advancing to the next stage. 

Kaiserslautern vs Bayer Leverkusen Predictions

The difference between these two units is huge, even though Kaiserslautern obviously improved its form in the last couple of weeks. Bayer’s loss in the Europa League finals is tough, but this is a perfect chance for them to redeem, which is why we pick them to triumph easily and to cover a -1.5 handicap.

Our verdict: Bayer Leverkusen -1.5
