Bayer Leverkusen is on the verge of an incredible feat! They've already clinched their first-ever Bundesliga title and are now looking to become the first team in German history to win both the league and the DFB Pokal in an undefeated season.

Kaiserslautern, a former Bundesliga champion themselves, are no slouches. Despite playing in the second division, they've had a magical run in the DFB Pokal, knocking out several top-flight teams. Can they pull off another shocker and spoil Leverkusen's party?

Leverkusen has dominated the recent matchups between these two teams. They've won four out of the last five meetings, with Kaiserslautern's lone victory coming in the 2013/14 DFB Pokal.

Led by manager Xabi Alonso, Leverkusen has been a force to be reckoned with this season. They boast a high-powered offense (averaging over 2.5 goals per game) and a stingy defense (conceding less than one goal per game on average).

Don't underestimate Kaiserslautern! They've scored in every single DFB Pokal match this season, with striker Ragnar Ache leading the charge (16 goals in the Bundesliga 2).

There's an interesting twist! If Leverkusen wins, a team called Heidenheim will qualify for Europe for the first time ever, just by finishing eighth in the Bundesliga.

This game has all the makings of a classic underdog story. While Leverkusen is the clear favorite, Kaiserslautern will be hungry to cause an upset. However, We expect a routine win for Leverkusen

Kaiserslautern 0-4 Bayer Leverkusen
