Kaiserslautern-Leverkusen: Cup Final with a clear favorite at Berlin’s Olympic Stadium

Cup final time in Germanywith Bayer Leverkusen and Kaiserslautern face each other at the Berlin Olympic Stadium (21:00, Cosmote Sport 2) against the background of winning the coveted cup!

A match with a clear favorite for Leverkusen, which a few days ago was crowned German champion for the first time in its history, achieving its great achievement without losing a single defeat in this year’s Bundesliga (28 wins, 8 draws).

However, last Wednesday (22/5) Atalanta forced Xabi Alonso’s side to their first defeat of the season as the Italians celebrated emphatic 3-0 victories in Ireland and Dublin to clinch the Europa League. Now, Leverkusen wants to end a historic season in the best possible way and be crowned German Cup Winners for the second time in their history and the first since 1993.

This will be her fifth appearance in a DFB Pokal final, with back-to-back shutouts to reach this point Teutonia Ottesen (8-0), Sandhausen (5-2), Penderbourn (3-1), Stuttgart (3-2) and Fortuna Dusseldorf (4-0).

On the other hand, Kaiserslautern looking to complete their magical run in this year’s Cup in the best possible way by completing their feat with a win against arguably the best team in the country this season! Despite failing to impress in Germany’s second division, finishing in 13th place and just 7 points above the relegation zone, in the DFB Pokal they managed to spring a surprise, claiming the trophy for the third time in their history! This will be her eighth Cup final appearance, with her last appearance in 2003.

To get this far, Kaiserslautern initially ruled out the amateur side Rot-Weiss Koblez (5-0), while then left out Toilet water (3-2), Nuremberg (2-0), Hertha Berlin (3-1) and Saarbrucken (2-0).
