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.
