DFB Pokal 2023-24: Final, KAI vs BAY Match Prediction – Who will win today’s match?

On Saturday, May 25, Bundesliga champions Bayer Leverkusen (BAY) will face Bundesliga 2 team 1. FC Kaiserslautern (KAI) in the DFB-Pokal 2023-24 final at Berlin's Olympiastadion.  The Kaiserslautern vs. Leverkusen DFB-Pokal final begins at 11:30 PM IST.

The German Football Association (DFB) organises the DFB-Pokal, often known as the German Cup, a German knockout football tournament conducted annually. Bayer Leverkusen, led by manager Xabi Alonso, will look to complete the domestic double as they play Kaiserslautern in the DFB-Pokal final on Saturday.

Leverkusen has already won the Bundesliga 2023-24 title, finishing first in the Bundesliga with 90 points after 34 games. Meanwhile, Leverkusen will try to rapidly recover after Serie A side Atalanta broke their incredible 51-match unbeaten run in their Europa League 2023-24 final on Thursday, May 23.

Leverkusen lost 0-3 against Atalanta winger Ademola Lookman, who scored a spectacular hat-trick, marking their first loss in 361 days. In April, Xabi Alonso's team defeated Fortuna Düsseldorf of Bundesliga 2 4-0 in the DFB-Pokal 2023-24 semi-finals.

Kaiserslautern, on the other hand, terminated third-tier Saarbrucken's fairytale run, advancing to the DFB Cup final against Bundesliga winners Bayer Leverkusen. Marlon Ritter and Almamy Touré both scored a goal to help Kaiserslautern defeat Saarbrucken 2-0 during their DFB-Pokal 2023-24 semi-final match.
