Kaiserslautern - Bayer Leverkusen: Form Analysis
Kaiserslautern's DFB Cup run has been a highlight in an otherwise challenging second season back in Bundesliga 2, where they narrowly avoided finishing in the bottom three. The Red Devils experienced alternating spells of strong and poor form but ended the season on a high note, losing just one of their final five matches and concluding with a 5-0 victory over Eintracht Braunschweig. Friedhelm Funkel hopes to end his tenure as head coach with a bang by defeating the Bundesliga champions, which would secure the club's third DFB Pokal title and its first since the 1989-90 season when they beat Karlsruher SC 1-0. Despite managing only two clean sheets all season in Bundesliga 2, Kaiserslautern have been solid in the DFB Cup, recording three clean sheets in five matches, conceding only three goals, and never trailing in the competition.
Meanwhile, Bayer Leverkusen’s dream of an unbeaten season came to an end in Dublin in midweek when they were defeated 3-0 by Atalanta in the Europa League final on Wednesday night. Despite this setback, Xabi Alonso’s side have had a remarkable season, securing their first-ever Bundesliga title and now aiming to complete the domestic double. Die Werkself finished the league campaign in first place, 17 points ahead of Stuttgart, who edged Bayern Munich for second place on the final day of the season. Before their European disappointment, Leverkusen had scored in their last 23 matches, including a 4-0 victory over Fortuna Düsseldorf in the DFB Pokal semi-final at the start of last month. They have been prolific in this season’s DFB Pokal, netting 15 goals in four games and scoring three or more in each match. Leverkusen are unbeaten in 38 matches against German opposition since a 3-0 loss to Bochum on the final day of the 2022-23 Bundesliga season.

Kaiserslautern & Bayer Leverkusen Squad Analysis
Left-back Hendrick Zuck has missed a large chunk of the campaign due to a cruciate ligament tear and first-choice defensive midfielder Julian Niehues has recently suffered the same injury, ruling both players out for the DFB Pokal final this weekend. Jan Elvedi is another who will be missing from the Red Devils' defence due to a calf injury, and he will be joined on the sidelines by Ben Zolinski, who is ruled out with an injured knee. Ragnar Ache is a doubt for the match owing to a knock.
A key to Bayer Leverkusen’s success this season has been their ability to keep their players fit, and they will enter this contest with a full squad at their disposal. However, Alonso is likely to make a few changes for this match after an energy-sapping midweek contest which should allow Matej Kovar to return in goal for captain Lukas Hradecky. Bundesliga Rookie of the Season Victor Boniface could also be brought back into the starting 11 here, potentially in place of Patrik Schick.

One of the worst feelings when placing a football bet is when the team that you have backed has gone into a multiple-goal lead only to be clawed back to a draw or to lose the game in question. This is something that bet365 has rectified for their bettors courtesy of this offer. If the team that you backed takes a two-goal lead your bet will be paid out as a winner. That is any two-goal lead so 2-0, 3-1, 4-2 etc will all be paid out early as a winner if your team is in that position. This is available in 80 different competitions including the major leagues across Europe and can be played on the full-time result market. Singles and multiples are both valid for this offer but you cannot bet on enhanced price markets. As with most promotions, if you cash out a bet in full, the bet will no longer be available for the offer in question. It also cannot be used if you bet on the draw on a game.
